Connecticut College Children's Program awarded $500k state grant
NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Connecticut College Children's Program has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the Connecticut State Department of Education to support its inclusive pre-school program. With this grant, the program will become a model demonstration site that will allow other early childhood practitioners to witness best practice techniques in a setting that includes children with disabilities.
"This is an opportunity for the Connecticut College Children's Program to support our partners in the early childhood world - 'Birth to Three' providers, local public preschool programs and private and public programs for children and their families," Dr. Kathryn O'Connor, director of the program, said.
The program provides a model early childhood curriculum for infants and young children of diverse backgrounds and abilities in southeastern Connecticut. The child-centered, play-based study and development setting is central to the College's academic curriculum, providing hands-on experience for students as well as opportunities for student and faculty research. Last year, the program earned reaccreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and was endorsed as an approved Private Special Education Program by the State of Connecticut Bureau of Special Education.
The grant, which will provide $100,000 to the program each year over a period of five years, will enhance training and educational opportunities for program staff, support partnerships with other agencies and programs and provide opportunities to share best practices for working with children from a variety of backgrounds, ability levels and socio-economic groups.
The Connecticut College Children's Program enrolls approximately 90 preschool children, including 20 who meet specific income guidelines and whose tuition is largely covered by a state Department of Education School Readiness Grant. In addition, the program serves preschool-aged children with special needs whose local boards of education pay tuition, speech, occupational therapy and physical therapy costs associated with education. A 'Birth to Three' program for toddlers with developmental challenges adds to the inclusive environment and developmental setting.
Situated on the coast of southern New England, Connecticut College is a highly selective private liberal arts college with 1900 students from all across the country and throughout the world. On the college's 750-acre arboretum campus overlooking Long Island Sound, students and faculty create a vibrant social, cultural and intellectual community enriched by diverse perspectives. The college, founded in 1911, is known for its unique combination of interdisciplinary studies, international programs, funded internships, student-faculty research and service learning.

Located at 301 Commerce Street, this 38-story glass tower boasts stunning views of Sundance Square and Fort Worth. The city's second-tallest building was built in 1984 by Linbeck Construction Company and designed by Paul Rudolph, a renowned New York architect. This building offers 60,000 to 80,000 square feet of newly available, newly updated space, creating a prime opportunity for a multi-floor tenant.


WWW, November 2014 - Reverb and delay: the two basic effects for a Dub mix. In this third chapter of REASON 8.0 IN DUB, both effects are subject to a deeper reviewing in word, sound and sight. Another original Reggae riddim was created, rendered to eight audio tracks and imported into a multi-track DUB set up in Reason. A report.
Before we'll take a look at some of the delay and reverb devices and -more important- see and hear them in action, a few words about creating a riddim in Reason. Reason 8.0's new browser is a tremendous help during this process. Where it's rather obvious how the quality of the work-flow had dramatically improved since Reason 3.0, this browser in itself contributes significantly to it. Picking sounds for your sampler or drum computer goes very quick, especially when you use the drag-and-drop possibilities.
Love it or hate it: the Neptune Voice Synthesizer does it's work quite well. Just load a few vocal samples and make sure they're fit in the rhythm.
After this, make a little midi harmony in the Neptune's sequencer channel (see picture right, click to enlarge), make sure the vocals feed the Neptune and you have your very own harmony vocals 21th century style.
Another thing worth mentioning here are the two amps created by Softube that ship with Reason 8.0.
When you want to use real guitar sounds next to the real bass guitar sounds, both the guitar amp and the bass amp do a wonderful job. The wah-wah guitar you'll hear in the mix has a significant better sound when run through the amp and so does the bass.
Creating a riddim is as easy as your inspiration will let you fill in the blank sequencer. It does take computer power, though. Even running the DAW in 64 bit modus with full 8 gigabytes available will not let you set up a complete Dub environment while using all the instruments. Rendering your riddim to audio tracks solves that problem and will bring you directly in the situation wherein Dub is actually made: after all, it's a remixing technique of multi-track recordings or "stems".
For this series, a special multi-track Dub environment was created in Reason. Unfortunately it's not possible to make the stems available for download because of license limitations, but when you take a look at the Dubroom's tutorial on making Dub with computers or at the graphic right (click to enlarge), you'll get the idea. This is the principal according to which the Dub environment is set up.
Since Reason's console has eight auxiliary outputs, you'll have the possibility to connect six effects. Route the output of the effect devices to a channel input and you can layer effect over effects. This is exactly what's going to be done quite heavily in the Dub that was made for this report.
Now, let's take a closer look at the effects themselves.
In the Dub mix, you'll hear both reverb devices or just the DR-1. At the console, the two channels at the far right feed the devices. There is quite a difference to be heard when you hear both reverb devices, as both devices come back into the console in the same channel. To achieve this set up, use was made of the FREE Audio merger and splitter Rack Extensions by Blamsoft.
You'll hear a little bit from the Echobode Rack Extension. This is a frequency shifter and delay device that at this point is yet to be reviewed deeper. THE ECHO is taken to a deeper level as well. Of course, the manual delay (aux 1, more info here) and the RV-7000 with a Dubroom Ping Pong delay preset are featured.
The T2 Phaser (available for around 15 euro at the propshop) does some crucial things to the drums. A Dubroom preset is used for it. This is a heartically recommended Rack Extension. Just listen to what it does with the drums!
The signals feeds like the Ping Pong delay, which at it's turn feeds THE ECHO. That's just one layering of effects used in this mix. There's a lot more going on, all possible because of the way everything is routed. Tweaking the EQ on the reverb channel is quite effective, but that was already made clear in the previous dub mixes.
It's not easy to create Dub effects in the lower frequencies (read: bass line), but both the DR-1 and the RV-7000 showed to be perfectly able to deal with the deeper realms. They sound nice together as well.
To conclude, a word about the Echobode. The first audible patch was taken and the thing tweaked just a little bit, without being hindered by any knowledge of the device itself. This in itself showed a potential that most certainly will be looked at more in-depth.
WWW, November 2014 - For this second part of REASON 8.0 IN DUB, Messian Dread created another original riddim and took a thirty-day trial of the Synapse DR-1 Reverb Rack Extension. He also tweaked THE ECHO in what became yet another fat Dub created only with Propellerhead's Reason 8.0. Another report from the studio.
Reason's RV-7000 Advanced Reverb does more than a decent job, especially when you consider it's the standard reverb in a 450 Euro DAW. It has been used by many producers whose choice was the RV-7000. Still, it turns out the blue device doesn't do everything and that's exactly where the DR-1 comes into focus. Taking a thirty-day trial for the 35 Euro Reverb device is free, and it turned out to be a very interesting choice.
Another thing that really needed a deeper review is THE ECHO, Propellerhead's very own "Advanced Delay". To see it live in action during a Dub mix is obviously the best way to discover some of it's features and that's exactly what can be done in this report.
Yet a third thing is the bass. As it turned out, feeding the AUDIOMATIC with the "Psyche" preset, which at it's turn feeds the DR-1 produced a wonderful effect on the bass.
Before the Dub could be mixed, again from eight different audio tracks or stems, the riddim had to be made. Drums, percussion, bass, organ, piano, guitars, horns and vocals. Once again, the NEPTUNE Voice Synthesizer was applied to create some kind of effect on the vocals just because of the vibe it gives. For the vocals, just a few phrases were used. Once again, the bass amp was used for the bassline and two different guitar amps for the two different guitars. The horns went through DR Octorex's own filter before it was rendered to an audio track.
When you would like to compare the DR-1 with the RV-7000, download the MP3 files. The two mixes are identical, the only difference is the reverb device.
WWW, November 2014 - After the very well received review of Reason 8.0 especially for the DUB Community, the Dubroom continues to explore and review Propellerhead's flagship. In "Action Rack Extension", Messian Dread mixes eight audio tracks into a heavy DUB using all six FX outputs on Reason's console. A report in sight and sound.
The best way to explore Reason, obviously, is to create riddims and make a Dubs from them. This is exactly what has been going on these last weeks over here in the Dubroom. At a later stage, more about creating riddims with Reason. For now, just the report that creating riddims is a true joy and Reason has a positive role in the inspiration.
Reason runs in 64bit on a machine with 8 Gigs of RAM and Intel processors of the newest kind. The software was loaded with drum computers, sound modules, loop players and of course the Neptune voice synthesizer. As soon as Reason hit the ceiling, the riddim was rendered to hard disk in the form of eight multi-tracks or stems. Unfortunately these multi-tracks cannot be shared as that would go beyond the Dubroom's license, but the result can be witnessed in the form of a You Tube video you can watch later on in this report.
In fact, making a DUB from an audio multi-track is the authentic and original way of making DUB. This is how the music came into existence, as the Jamaican studio bands played one riddim after the other into the multi-track recorder and the DUB engineer turned everything into that music we all love to play so much. This is exactly how the DUB for this report was made.
Reason was set up with eight audio channels, one for sound FX, and six console input channels for all six auxiliary outputs. Yes, six different effect devices are used in this particular set up. Their output goes to console input channels. Over here, we don't deal with returns but you can read about these things elsewhere in the studio.
Next to different RV7000's for delays and reverbs, The Echo was put in there as well as two Audiomatic devices. The Audiomatic is a Rack Extension, Propellerhead Reason's very own plug-in format. It ships for free with Reason 8.0, just like the excellent bass amp responsible for the warm and deep bass sound in this mix.
Another Rack Extension used is the T2 Phaser (review). You can download and use the device in your Reason rack for free for 30 days or decide to buy it. It's only about 15 euros and worth much more than that. In fact, for DUB created only with Reason the T2 is obligatory.
Rack extensions work like any other device you can load in Reason's rack. Connect them, make a sequencer track and start recording your automation.
The T2 and the Audiomatic Rack extensions turn out to integrate fully in a DUB environment. The Echo on top of that gives that extra touch but at this time, the device is not fully tested so there is much more potential than the stuff you can hear in the mix created for this report.
After an initial sound check on the correctly connected set up, finally the DUB could be mixed. An exciting moment. This would show how much is true concerning Propellerhead's claims about workflow in Reason 8.0. Will there be hick-up's when the loop points are changed? Will everything be in sync in the first place? How about latency when you use the on-board soundcards with an ASIO4ALL driver?
Everything went extremely smooth. Six different effects that take up their processing power, not to speak about the console itself and the eight different audio tracks can all be handled in virtual real-time. There's no experienceable latency, as the Reason sequencer records and plays the mixing automation.
Both the Audiomatic and the T2 get their fair chance, especially in the second half of the mix when the two effects follow up on each other. The Audiomatic turns out to be crucial in deforming both the bass and the drums. Especially when combined with other effects (reverb), this little big thing can drive your mix to a next dimension. The T2 (reviewed here) is a very, very decent phaser that works excellently as well.
The RV7000's and the manual delay do their thing. A ping-pong delay, a reverse reverb and a more or less standard hall effect for the RV7000 devices. The Echo is tweaked at a certain point showcasing some of it's potential, but there has to be some deeper exploring of the delay.
Even though not so much effort was put in the actual riddim, the result is a very reasonable Dub mix. Mixing the Dub is a true pleasure, and Reason's workflow plays a part in it, definitely. The technique behind the automation and everything is very high in quality and low in causing problems.
WWW, November 2014 - The in-program phaser in Reason is not the DAW's strongest feature. This very fact has been picked up by "That Music Company": they developed a very fine phaser which can be yours for the price of about 15 euros. Presenting the T2 Phaser Rack Extension!
Rack Extensions. It's Propellerhead's name for the Reason internal plug-in format. You get a few when you purchase Reason, you can download one or two for free but the bulk can be discovered by visiting the "Prop Shop".
For a DUB engineer, browsing the Rack Extensions can be, well, time-consuming. After all, most are aimed at the production of EDM ("Electronic Dance Music") and will not really add much to the standard effects and instruments in Reason.
Not so with the T2 Phaser (see picture, click to enlarge). It's the second device created by the small Rack Extension developer "That Music Company", based in San Jose (California, USA) and it truly is an extension to your rack.
First thing that stands out is the price. For about 15 euros, the T2 is yours. That's fifteen euros to de facto replace Reason's standard phaser because as soon as you run the T2 in your set up you'll hear the power in the thing.
It basically has three main sections: Overdrive, Phaser and HPF (Hi-Pass Filter). Overdrive and HPF will add vibes to the main sound the Phaser section produces. You can set waveforms and on top of that, different steps. Pan effects belong to the possibilities too, you can even trigger the T2 by midi notes.
Got Reason? Get the T2. It's that simple. Just download the phaser, you will have thirty days to discover the fully functional device before you will undoubtedly decide to have it permanently in your effect collection.


The first BGW of the #FPL season ends with one of the lowest averages so far, a measly 35 points. With Suj scoring 43 and James scoting 29 - we run down all of the GW27 fixtures including all of the talking points as usual. With a tight turnaround to GW28 there is no time for Twitter questions - just a short sharp listen before the next deadline.

Home Resources Reports "Do Not Trespass" Land Confiscation by Armed Actors in Sou...
"Do Not Trespass" Land Confiscation by Armed Actors in Southeast Myanmar
March 11th, 2019 • Author: Karen Human Rights Group • 3 minute read
"Whenever I go to my plantation, I see a sign erected by the Tatmadaw that says 'Military land, do not trespass!", a victim of land confiscation explains. "This makes me inconsolable. I live in fear that the Tatmadaw will permanently confiscate my land. All of our work will be in vain. Our lives will be shattered because we depend on our plantation for our livelihood."
Long-standing conflicts have resulted in decades of widespread human rights abuses and land confiscations in Myanmar's ethnic border areas. Both the Tatmadaw and Ethnic Armed Groups are responsible for confiscating land. In a country where 70% of the population is dependent on agriculture, land confiscations have serious, long-term consequences on the lives and livelihoods of ethnic communities. The total number of acres that were confiscated by armed actors and private companies in recent decades is unknown, but estimates are in the millions. In 2016, the Upper House's Farmers Affairs Committee put the number at over 2 million acres of land. Estimates for military land confiscations are difficult to obtain because victims often fear retaliation by perpetrators for reporting the confiscations.
With the signing of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement in 2015 and the relative stabilisation of several conflict zones, rural communities assumed that land previously confiscated by armed actors would be returned to them. This expectation has not been met. When the National League for Democracy took office in March 2016, it created the 'Central Reinvestigation Committee for Confiscated Farmlands and Other Lands', and declared that it would solve all land confiscation cases within six months. Although the body claims to have settled thousands of claims, thousands more remain unresolved. In July 2018, Tatmadaw Colonel Zaw Min stated, "the military has been returning many acres of land – as much as it can." Yet thousands of subsistence farmers continue to face livelihood challenges, and hundreds of communities still live in fear due to the close proximity of armed actors to their villages.
The restitution of land by armed actors to farmers is an essential step to the realisation of peace, justice and reconciliation of Myanmar. Yet, instead of taking steps to strengthen land tenure rights in ethnic minority areas, the Myanmar Parliament has recently passed amendments to the Vacant, Fallow, and Virgin Lands Management Law that could strip millions of customary farmers of their lands.
This News Bulletin explores the dynamics of military land confiscations in Southeast Myanmar. It first focuses on analysing the legal framework around land rights, to assess the extent to which it prevents or facilitates land confiscation by armed actors. The second part analyses the characteristics of land confiscation on the basis of 26 cases documented by KHRG, with a particular emphasis on the corresponding human rights violations and the negative impacts on affected communities and displaced persons. Finally, the report highlights four case studies in order to raise the voices of victims and highlight the devastating and multiple effects of land confiscation on ethnic communities.

Discrete Optimization addresses structural and algorithmic questions for finding the "best" among a set of feasible solutions. Often, this set of feasible solutions is finite, such as the set of maximal matchings in a finite graph, the set of vertices of a polytope, etc. Only since around the 1960s, starting with groundbreaking work of Jack Edmonds, researchers started to realize that the quality of procedures to solve such problems should be measured in terms of the algebraic dependence of computation time on problems size. Discrete Optimization has since then evolved into a rich mathematical area that connects to many other areas in mathematics but also computer science. Throughout the course, we consider several fundamental problems from this area and develop efficient algorithms to solve them.
Basic knowledge of algorithms, linear algebra and graph theory at the bachelor level. The material in "Appendix VIII: Mathematical Background" in the book "Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein constitutes a good basis; it actually covers more background material than we will need in the course.
In order to pass the course you need to achieve an average grade of at least 5.5, both in the homework assignments and the exam.
Homework: The formula to determine your grade for the homework assignments is as follows: 9(#points)/(max #points) + 1, then rounded to the closest multiple of 0.5.
Exam: You are allowed to bring five sheets of A4 paper to the exam. What is written on the paper (handwritten, printed, ...) does not matter. Books, more paper, or electronic devices of any kind are not allowed.

One single thing that can easily derail your diet is alcohol. The calories tend to add up fast for the starters. Also, if you add alcohol to your diet rather than replacing anything, then you are just adding up sugar and total calorie content in your body.Christy Brissette, RD, owner of 80 Twenty Nutrition, says that alcohol acts like sugar, causing an insulin rush which leads you to store more fat. While you undoubtedly won't be donning a beer belly after just a few brews with your friends, the drink you opt to down matters in how much of your six pack is yet showing over time. Here are some of the drinks that you may need to avoid in order to maintain good body and health.
Brissette points out that the trend in stronger beer implies more calories. Don't forget that as the alcohol content increases, calorie count also increases. You also have a bloat factor from all those carbs. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot is a high 330 calories while Dogfish Head IPA clocks in at 450 calories.
Cider may appear healthy— however, it is an alternative to beer and is also gluten-free. Although while brewskies pack in the empty calories and useless carbs, cider is packed in another black-listed nutrient. Brisette says that a pint of cider can have ten teaspoons of sugar.
You could also call it a carb bomb. Holthaus says that the dark Irish stout in this drink along with the liquor pack and cream delivers a whopping 310 calories.
Holthaus explains that a morning after a drink like Bloody Mary will only slow the metabolism of congeners, which is a substance contributing to hangover signs, and increases the amount of time it will take for your blood alcohol content to come back to standard condition. In addition to that, though vodka is a good option, however, once you add the vegetables, tomato juice and the spices, the drink makes its way upto 300 calories.
This drink is the simplest way you could ruin your weight goals. Brisette warns that if a person loves the mix of rum and coke, then your cocktail has atleast 250 calories and 39 grams of sugar.
Your regular ole margarita may feel boring, and the beer could be a tasty addition to it. However, the combo of both tequila and beer in this drink, plus the limeade, carry a punch, regarding alcohol you are getting and in the amount of calorie intake. 230 ounce is what it costs for a 12-ounce drink.
Holthaus opines that the coffee liquor and the fresh cream make this small drink very powerful in terms of how many calories it produces. 210 calories are what is present in just 4 ounces.
There are some drinks stronger than an Old Fashioned. However, Nutritionally speaking, the simple syrup in this standard is not so. Holthaus says that just 1-ounce bags in over five teaspoons of added sugar. Apart from that, a 6-ounce Old Fashioned will cost you about 260 calories.
While going through the above article, you might have checked out some of your favourite cold ones. However, you do not have to totally give up on alcohol just for the sake of getting six pack abs. Limiting the quantity is the best way you to maintain a healthy body. Try to hold the drinks to two per day and also on weekends. You can slow down your intake of calorie by drinking more of water and club soda at regular intervals.
As for mixed drinks, if you are combining ingredients like simple agave, syrup, soda, heavy cream, or fruit juice, you are adding more of calories. It is always better to keep the drink simple and also stick to the purest form of the alcohol you can find.

Luc Chabot Podcast Interview – Episode S2E04
2 October 2016 by Ken Abbott
Luc Chabot Podcast Interview
In today's show I interview former Ayr Bruins, Whitley Warriors, Medway Bears and Solihull Barons striker Luc Chabot.
Luc's first UK hockey experience lasted just 9 games and despite being in the top three UK points scorers, the Ayr Bruins decided to replace him and fellow import Kevin Reynolds.
The 3 Amigos
The following season he was back in the UK, this time as a replacement import himself, signing for the Whitley Warriors in December 1987, joining up with fellow imports Scott Morrison and a certain D-Man, the current Toronto Maple Leafs head coach, Mike Babcock.
It was a winning season for the Warriors, the team finished runners up in the Heineken Premier Division, just two points behind winners the Murrayfield Racers. They also reached the Wembley Play Off Finals weekend for the first time in their history, eventually going down 13 – 5 in the semi finals to the Fife Flyers.
The Wembley weekend was always filled with rumours of who had been seen talking to who and who maybe be signing for who. Consequently one of those rumours turned out to be true, as Luc recalls:
At Wembley I was approached by Kevin McNaught of the Medway Bears, he offered me a job. Whitley were looking to make a change by signing Hilton Ruggles and so I signed for the Bears, it was as simple as that.
#9 Luc in action
Medway Bears
It was a frustrating 1988 – 89 season, the Medway Bears had a team capable of topping the table, filled with quality players, such as Kevin McNaught, Ken Federko, Rob Breskal, Dean Edmiston, Gary McEwan, Gary Brine, Andy Leggat and Tony Goldstone but competing with a John Lawless built Cardiff Devils team destined for the very top, they could make the runners up spot.
Two more seasons with the Kent club followed before Luc moved to Italy, playing for Sterzing/Vipiteno for a season before returning to the UK for two seasons with the Solihull Barons. Then followed a split season with Dumfries and Medway before linking up, for three seasons, with coach Paul Thompson's Solihull Blaze – it was a link up which was to pay dividends for both guys a few seasons later.
Isle of Wight Raiders
In 1999 the Isle of Wight Raiders came a calling and Luc, as player coach, led the team to a championship before moving on after three seasons, to a similar position with the Peterborough Phantoms.
As it turned out, Peterborough wasn't one of his best of moves, as he recalls:
We had lots of local guys, lots of little cliques, we were top of the league with, I think, a 20 – 4 record, when one day I read in the local newspaper that I was being replaced – but that's hockey!
Stints, as a player, for Romford and then as bench coach for the Basingstoke Bison followed before Luc teamed up once again with head coach Paul Thompson.
Coventry Blaze
The Coventry Blaze offered him a duel role as assistant coach and manager of their newly opened Hockey Shop.
In the nine seasons that followed, Luc was part of a Blaze organisation that won:
Four Elite League Championships, one Playoff Championship, two Challenge Cup trophies, a Knockout Cup and a Charity Shield. Not a bad record for a "small town" club.
Luc talks of the satisfaction of continually being ahead of the leagues' so called bigger teams.
He tells of tough guys McNamara, Payette, Carlson and character players like Cloutier, Carlson, Poirier, Martin, Tait and Adam Calder.
Canadian Luc spent 28 years here in the UK as player, player coach and bench coach.
In 2014 he decided to return back home to Ottawa, Canada – where he continues his coaching career.

Adam Calder
News recently broke that the Blaze's former iconic striker Adam Calder has been battling cancer for the last two years.
The Coventry Blaze will be announcing various ways in which you can support, donate and contribute towards the 'Support25' campaign to help Adam
Despite several surgeries and therapy to fight the disease, Adam's health is still greatly affected.
He is now seeking new treatments and medications that are not available under the NHS.
This may require the need to travel abroad to seek further treatment not accessible in the UK. The costs for these treatments are significant.
More details of the campaign can be found on the Blaze website here:
SUPPORT25
A Just Giving donations page has also been set up and can be found here:
I'm sure you'll join me in wishing Adam all the very best and hope that his ongoing treatments are a complete success.

An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in how our teeth and jaws are aligned. They are most known for correcting crooked teeth. They are the dentists we go to when we think we need braces. Often, we don't go to them because of pain. We may just want our teeth to be straighter. We may want to correct an overbite.
Usually, patients are referred to an orthodontist by their family dentist. Either the dentist points out that a patient has an alignment problem or the patients ask for a referral. Orthodontists deal with hardware like braces, retainers and other headgear. Orthodontists are dentists. However, they don't do procedures that regular dentists do. They don't perform things like extractions, fillings, and crowns. They focus more on braces, retainers, and other corrective fittings.
How Can an Orthodontist Help Me?
Part of what an orthodontist does is evaluate your teeth for misalignment or issues. They can see a lot just by looking at your teeth. However, just like your regular dentist, they will do x-rays to see what's going on in your mouth. They may take molds to see your teeth imprints. This helps them determine exactly what procedures or treatments will work best to fix your problem. Orthodontists do more than just braces and retainers. They may help you with a host of other problems. Some of these are gum disease, jaw pain, and sleep apnea. They can treat these issues as well or he can refer you to a specialist who can.
Dentists and orthodontists require a ton of schooling. Both dentists and orthodontists have to go to school well beyond college. Both have graduated from medical school. They both also had to attend post-graduate schooling for their license. The one difference is that an orthodontist also has to complete a 2-year residency. Basically, all orthodontists are dentists. However, not all dentists are orthodontists. Make sense? Great!
Does Insurance Cover Orthodontist Visits?
Dental insurance will cover most procedures done at your family dentist's office. Of course, they may not cover elective things like teeth whitening. However, things like cleanings, x-rays and fillings are typically covered. Dental insurance usually covers most if not all of the procedures like crowns and root canals. Even if they're not covered 100%, they are usually covered almost completely.
Dental insurance is not as likely to cover work done by an orthodontist. A lot of what an orthodontist does is considered elective. This means that you don't need to have it done – you want to have it done. This is a good rule of thumb when asking yourself what an orthodontist does.
Orthodontists make your mouth and smile look good. He doesn't fix what is hurting you. He fixes what is driving you crazy. This is what we mean when we say that an orthodontist does a lot of elective procedures.
There are times when an orthodontist does perform necessary procedures. Misalignment can cause problems like speech impediments and sleep apnea. Both of these can cause serious health issues. At some point, you or someone in your family is going to need help. If you are looking for an orthodontist in Greenville, South Carolina, contact Dr. H. Carl Burton Jr, DMD, DMD, PA. He can answer all of your questions.

Tom Dumoulin Ruled Out Of Tour de France
By Nat Bromhead | 21 June 2019
Team Sunweb's Tom Dumoulin has been ruled out of the Tour de France, the former Giro winner and runner up of last year'sTDF still suffering from an ongoing knee injury.
After a physically challenging run up to the race means the team announced that Dumo is "unable to be in the best possible shape to tackle three hard weeks of racing in France."
"Throughout various ups and downs, hope prevailed, but the decision is now made to give the 28-year-old the time he needs to recover from what's been a very difficult period," reads a statement issued by Team Sunweb.
'Difficult Lead Up To TDF'
"The last month has been extremely difficult overall, and with the setbacks in the knee recovery," Dumoulin later said.
"After what happened at the Giro I really wanted to go for it in the Tour, but this week I realised it's just not realistic for my level to be there in time. I've tried so hard to get there but I really have to listen to my body and release myself from chasing an unrealistic goal."
Team Sunweb will instead be led by Wilco Kelderman. Aussie legend Michael 'Bling' Matthews will also be in the line up, the 2017 Green Jersey winner again eager to secure stages at the race of the year.
Chris Froome is also out of the TDF after suffering a sickening crash earlier this month. You can read more about that here.

We Spent Two Months With 12 Artists in a Tuscan Paradise
PHOTOS BY SARAH ILLENBERGER
When you tell people that you just got back from a two-month stay in a 19th-century Tuscan villa with three swimming pools where you had your own artist's studio and a gourmet chef cooking you dinner every night, the first thing they tend to do is giggle: It sounds like you're making it up. But if you happen to follow the Instagram feeds of folks like Chiaozza, Confettisystem, Calico Wallpaper, or Sophie Buhai — whose experiences there inspired me to apply — you'll know that the Villa Lena is no fairy tale, it's a very real place with a very real residency program that just happens to be the stuff that dreams are made of.
During my time there this past August and September, I shared a studio with my best friend, designer and sculptor Kristin Victoria Barron, where I had the opportunity to make things with my hands for the first time since elementary school, and I shared the villa with 10 other amazing creatives, ranging from musicians (Alexis Georgopoulos of ARP) to painters (Kon Trubkovich) to art directors (Sarah Illenberger). We ate dinner together, we watched movies together, and we occasionally left the middle-of-nowhere countryside landscape together to travel to inspiring places like Bologna and Venice. At the end of our residency, I enlisted the help of Illenberger on a Giorgio Morandi-inspired photo shoot documenting the work of all the visual artists in our group, which is what you see below.
Sadly the application deadline for next summer's program has already passed, so anyone interested will have to apply for a 2018 residency. But if you can't wait that long, here's the good news: The Villa Lena also encompasses a gorgeous hotel, designed by Clarisse Demory, where you can get a taste of the villa life — not to mention the amazing food from its chef-in-residency program — anytime you like.
Inventive Berlin-based art director Sarah Illenberger is known for repurposing everyday materials and objects into surprising representations of other things, a process she abstracted a bit during her time at the villa, creating beautiful compositions out of stray plants, rocks, and pottery shards she'd decorated. Her "Ikebanas" photo series (above bottom) was "inspired by the Japanese flower binding technique, which intends to bring man in contact with nature and help him find balance in his relationship to his surroundings," she says. "The collected materials were modified using paint, glitter, tape, and plastilline." For "Beginnings" (above top), she rearranged those objects onto white shelves she constructed in her studio.
Zuzana Hlivarova
The villa has a whole studio dedicated to throwing and firing pottery, which is where Slovakian-born, Paris-based ceramicist Zuzana Hlivarova spent most of her time, making organically glazed plates and vessels like the ones above. "Many of my objects are hand-built works where I use a very basic technique of coiling," she says. "For these I used local clay from the area Vinci, in between Pontedera and Florence. When I'm glazing, I work very spontaneously as I would with paint. Sometimes the final composition can remind of a landscape, but while I'm in the process of making, it's not intentional — it's more about my emotional range and my current state of mind."
Kristin Victoria Barron
I applied to the villa's residency program intending to collaborate on large-scale mobiles with my friend, the California designer and sculptor Kristin Victoria Barron. But once we arrived, her creative energy was so strong I had to stand back and let her do her thing — she spent two months hand-forming ceramic shapes inspired by a dream she'd had about the aftermath of an apocalyptic flood. "I began to sculpt the objects that were left behind along the shoreline after the waters receded," she says. "They started as bone-like fragments, but I repeated the forms many times until they slowly became more and more abstracted." Eventually she assembled them into models for a future lighting project, but along the way she made the mobile above, plus a skeletal composition she had hand-carved in various types of marble by an artisan outside Carrara.
Lewis Lazar
New York–based musician Lewis Lazar came to the villa to write and record songs, but turns out he's a man of many talents — he also paints, and having started experimenting with ceramics a few months before the residency, he took an opportunity to get his hands dirty in the pottery studio. "It was just a case of proving to Zuzana that I could throw on the wheel," he says. "She lent me some clay and I formed a little vase that I intended to fill with dry flowers. I gave it to Sarah (Illenberger) as a thank-you gift for a chestnut she gave me."
For New York artist/photographer — and erstwhile riot grrl (!) — Becca Albee, the residency was a chance to spend some focused time working on her upcoming 2017 solo show at Et Al. gallery in San Francisco, which will comprise "photographs relating to color theories, therapies, gender associations, and commodification," she says. She ended up creating a series of research images, depicted above, that she shot of Italian books and newspapers and of stains and cracks around the villa. "I photographed, printed, and rephotographed the photographs, exploring numerous formal and conceptual threads including: interruptions in architecture, colors of light, and the historical and contemporary treatment or erasure of violence against women in the media."
Kon Trubkovich
The New York painter Kon Trubkovich has spent the past few years on a body of work that saw him isolating, enlarging, and recreating fragments of images taken from home movies of his childhood in the USSR. He came to the villa, however, intending to explore a looser, more intuitive process. Among the paintings he produced there were these small watercolors that, while the artist himself didn't disclose any particular subject matter or inspiration, definitely evoked for me the way that small moments recalled from childhood or films can appear so specific yet so fuzzy at the same time.
Sort of like how our summer at the Villa Lena is already starting to feel for us as we get sucked back into the grind of our real lives. Maybe we'll see you there in 2017.

These Norwegian and American Designers Spent Six Months Collaborating on Skype
For the Norway x New York booth at Sight Unseen OFFSITE, we set up a cross-cultural exchange pairing 5 entrepreneurial American studios (Ladies & Gentlemen, Bower, Farrah Sit, Jonah Takagi, Assembly) and 5 up-and-coming Norwegian ones (Vera and Kyte, Bjørn van den Berg, Silje Nesdal, Hallgeir Homstvedt, Morten and Jonas), who spent the past six months working together via Skype and emails on a long-distance collaboration, with the aim to develop an object or series of objects that utilized an American workshop for fabrication.
Calico Wallpaper at Villa Lena
A couple before they were partners in design, Nick Cope and Rachel Mosler founded Calico Wallpaper together two years ago in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Mosler was an art therapist on paid leave from NYU's temporarily shuttered hospital; Cope ran a design/build firm whose projects had all been put on hold. "We'd always wanted to do a project that touched on both of our backgrounds — something for the home that had an art-like quality," says Cope. "Rachel studied sculpture at RISD and has a Master's in art therapy, and I went to NYU for photo and digital design." On a lazy afternoon in the East Village, Cope found an image of obscure types of paper marbling in an antique shop and brought it home. Mosler loved it and immediately began delving into the history and process of the ancient technique. "We realized quickly we had something interesting on our hands," says Cope.
Nous Vous, Graphic Artists
"It's about making language visual," respond the three members of Nous Vous when I ask them about their distinctly French name, which translates to We, You. "Well, it rolls off the tongue nicely, too," laughs Jay Cover, who founded the London-based trio with William Edmonds and Nicolas Burrows back in 2007. "But aside from that, our external influences tend to be design manifestos where the process is conscious of the audience and collaboration." We, You — there is a certain anonymity to their practice, reflected also in their European website domain (nousvous.eu), placing the group nowhere specific, perhaps in an effort to avoid defining their collective body of work.

Penwortham Town emerged as victors over Arkwrights in the Presidents cup final, after a brace from Tom Seed and a long range effort from Carl Busby ensured Town ran out 3-1 winners.
The game, played on an excellent surface at Bamber Bridge FC, was an extremely tight affair, with Penwortham Town having the better of the early chances. Tom Seed fired over from a long range effort on 15 minutes, and the same player put a header over the bar just 5 minutes later.
Town failed to capitalise on their early pressure, and they lived to regret it as on 23 minutes, Arkwrights took the lead from the penalty spot. Arkwrights captain Andrew Danson fired home the resulting kick after excellent work from tricky Arkwrights winger, Tom Kane. The rest of the half was end to end, and just before the half time whistle, Penwortham Town's winger James Hall, put a delicious cross into the box but it was just ahead of the out stretched foot of the Town Centre Forward and Arkwrights went into the interval holding a 1-0 lead.
The 2nd half started in much the same vain as the 1st half, with Penwortham having the better of the early chances. Another opportunity fell to the busy Town number 8 Tom Seed as he forced a save from Arkwrights keeper Gaz Sym and on 63 minutes Carl Busby headed over. The scores where level on 70 minutes and it took a penalty to bring Town level with Tom Seed scoring from the spot and the same player doubled his and Town's tally on 80 minutes, finishing from close range after a scramble in the box.
The game was sewn up in injury time, when Carl Busby launched a clearance high into the sky, from just inside his own half. The ball somehow found its way into the back of the net after a fumble by the Arkwrights keeper, to spark wild celebrations from the Town players, fans and backroom staff.
League President Dave Carlisle presented Presidents Cup to Penwortham captain Tom Sandells and the souvenir medals to the players and match officials. The Man-of-the-Match award to Penwortham Town's Tom Seed.
The game was superbly handled by referee Dan Hooton and he had excellent support from his Assistants Jamie Law and Keith Martin and 4th official Phil Ryan.

Ah, ok next time I will write a little more on my thoughts and why I rated each thing the way I did, hehe. I think I rated the curry unfairly because I used lite coconut milk instead of full fat. 😛 The potato goulash was pretty delicious!! It just maybe could have used more veggies in it.
Those look like great recipes. I agree – the potato goulash looks pretty good – something for a nice cold winter day. I guess you don't really get so many of those anymore, though, eh?
I love Thai curries but have never tried to make it at home. It wasn't so bad but it's so much better at the restaurant.
Goulash! I really want to go to Hungary and actually I was once watching this video on what foods to try in there. Goulash is a must-try.
Or you just make it at home! 😛 but I bet it's 100x more amazing in Hungary!
I can't cook to save my life, even if I try to follow recipes. The goulash looks quite good though. I've actually never had any kind of goulash.
Me neither lol, my boyfriend cooked all these meals. When he's not home I've been eating frozen meals. 😆 The goulash was good but needed maybe some more veggies!

Home › Wing Chun documentary
Master Wong Shun Leung was trained by the late, great Yip Man – teacher of the famed Bruce Lee. The Wing Chun Kung fu style became popular with the international film stardom of the late King Of Kung Fu, Bruce Lee. Lee's original martial art training is once again brought to light by Master Wong Shun Leung. Wing Chun has become one of the most sophisticated combat styles in existence by the fact that, somewhat like Western Boxing, it uses Economy of Motion as it's basis – however, it exceeds Boxing as a martial art through its utilization of the entire body as a weapon – the legs are used for blocks, kicks and trips- the hands are used for blocks, grabs, throws and strikes.
The special combined theories of the human body's division into -Four Gates- the Centerline Principle and the Sticky Hands method of attack and defense, which follow the subtle flow of an oppenent's Kinetic Force, are divulged for the first time ever on film. The various patterns are demonstrated here in their entirety, they are simple and easy for the beginner to learn. The underlying concepts are far-reaching enough to tantalyze even the most proficient of practioners. Wing Chun as a martialart is practical, straight forward and more to the point, efficient.

Q: Facebook app friends users posts don't appear on my news feed I built a Facebook app which allows users to post some news to their news feed from my website. I use Facebook Connect and the Facebook JS library.
When a friend of mine (Facebook friend) posts something to his news feed from my website using my Facebook app, I don't see it in my news feed. His other friends see it. Is it because I am the developer of the app and the posts from my Facebook app get filtered in some ways. It should not though.

SMA sells 1.6 gigawatts of inverter capacity for PV power plants in Australia in 2020
The share of the Australian electricity generation market contributed by renewable energy sources is continuing to increase, with numerous large-scale PV projects for a sustainable and secure energy supply. In 2020, SMA signed a series of contracts for the delivery of system solutions for PV power plants with a total power about 1.6 gigawatts. Destinations include 15 large-scale projects in Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. To date, SMA has a share of approximately 65 percent of the total 6.5 gigawatts of central inverter capacity committed or already commissioned in Australia by the end of 2020.
"The trend toward an ever-greater percentage of renewables on the Australian market is progressing. Despite all the challenges we faced this year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has been a highly successful year for SMA Australia," said Michael Rutt, Managing Director of SMA Australia. "We are delighted to have signed a series of contracts this year for the delivery of 1.6 gigawatts of inverter power, which corresponds to an average output of two coal-fired power plants. We are proud to make such a crucial contribution to Australia's energy transition with the comprehensive solutions provided by SMA Energy Systems. Alongside the supply business, engineering services are increasingly playing a role. As early as in the planning stage, these services ensure that risks later in the project can be identified early and thus significantly reduced; for example, through grid studies."
Among this year's highlights was the successful agreement of a contract for the delivery of Sunny Central inverters to the Western Downs Green Power Hub project, which is financed by NEOEN, Australia's leading developer for renewable energies. With an installed power of 460 MW, the PV farm will be the country's largest once complete. In addition, SMA will deliver inverter solutions to the EPC company Sterling and Wilson for the 162-megawatt Columboola PV farm, the second largest in Australia. In 2021, SMA Australia will deliver the new Sunny Central UP inverters for the Esperance Power solar and wind hybrid project to be constructed by Juwi in Western Australia. The Service Sales and Repowering team also successfully signed numerous contracts this year.
SMA has been active on the Australian market for around 20 years and offers a range of solutions for centralized and decentralized PV power plants as well as for solar solutions designed for PV rooftop systems, commercial solar projects and PV hybrid projects. The local team comprises 60 highly skilled specialists in the fields of engineering, sales, marketing and service. In addition, SMA experts provide support for planning, design, engineering and project management as well as for the installation and commissioning of PV projects.

Students protest at Columbia Theological Seminary
Seminaries	 April 3, 2019
International students say they're unhappy with strategic realignment
by Paul Seebeck | Presbyterian News Service

LOUISVILLE — International students at Columbia Theological Seminary say they want their voices heard as controversy has erupted on campus.
The controversy began Jan. 31, when seminary president Dr. Leanne Van Dyk announced a strategic realignment in the seminary's Office of International Programs. Students represented by the Coalition of International Students and Allies say their voices weren't heard when the decision was made, and that the move effectively dismantled the program.
Before Van Dyk made the announcement, the seminary's International Programs coordinator, the Rev. Kim LeVert, had already resigned to care for aging parents. Shortly after the strategic realignment became public, the program's director, Dr. John Azumah, resigned to return to Ghana to work on a Christian-Muslim dialogue project, according to Van Dyk.
In addition, the contract with Dr. Kevin Park, an associate dean for advanced professional studies whose duties included directing Korean-American ministries, was not renewed. Seminary officials said the contract nonrenewal was not due to the strategic realignment.
"It was a perfect storm," Van Dyk said, of LeVert's resignation for personal reasons, Azumah's choosing to leave sooner than anticipated for his position in Ghana and Park's contract nonrenewal.
According to Van Dyk, the strategic realignment increases dollars, people, transparency and accountability to the program serving international students. As part of the realignment, six people share the job responsibility — in addition to their current duties — for international student support, rather than one person, as was the case previously.
Critics of the realignment, including attorney and CISA special advisor Helen Kim Ho, called the realignment "a culturally-based decision to replace well-regarded immigrant faculty members with non-immigrant faculty members from other departments."
With a list of demands in hand, 15 international students met with Van Dyk twice in February. Their demands included reinstating Park as the new director for the International Programs Office. Van Dyk says she couldn't do that because the nonrenewal of Park's contract was a faculty governance decision.
Because these international students say they weren't being heard, CISA began making its demands public. In a social media petition signed by more than 900 people, students asked that the International Programs Office be reinstated, and that the director's position be filled by an immigrant faculty member who is globally trained and empathetic to the interests of immigrant and international students. They also asked for a seat at the table when key decisions are made related to the office, or that might impact immigrant and international students.
Van Dyk said the six people who will share responsibility for international student support are well-qualified and have global experience. She said the seminary has distinguished itself by creating a working strategy to address white privilege and racial discrimination.
"Any accusations of institutional racism around this story are flawed," she said. "I did say to them, 'We have been listening to you for several years'" in multiple listening sessions and dozens of conversations, "asking them, 'What do you need?'"
Park, who pastored many of Columbia's international students, said he believes they are crying out for visible representation. For many, English is a second language.
"They're not looking for an academic, programmatic or curricular resource," he said. "What they want is a relational resource, someone who will advocate for them."
Park said he wishes Van Dyk would have been able to make what he called a "heart-to-heart connection" with students who came to her with a list of demands.
Van Dyk said she wishes she could go back to Jan. 31 and tell the international students that changes were coming over the next four months — and that it was based on what she'd learned from the campus survey and in talking with international students about their concerns over the last two years.
"But the spark that lit this fire was clumsy communication and that's on me," she said. "The painful irony is that we made these decisions to increase and enhance our support to our international students."

valuation textbooks, Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies by Koller, Goedhart, and Wessels". I would call Warren Buffett the Bible of valuation, not that textbook. Warren Buffett thinks the Weighted Cost of Capital metric is worthless and makes no sense, and i agree.
This appears to be where the analysis gets off track. Also, despite all your repeated articles, Warren Buffett appears to think the market is not overvalued. My own independent analysis agrees with him, although many individual companies are overvalued, the market as a whole appears relatively fairly valued.

Finding the best San Diego events today can be daunting, but you can't go wrong at La Puerta – and if you like tapping your feet to the beat. And don't forget to check out what else is happening in San Diego this weekend. Weekend Roudup makes it easy, all in a single convenient listing.

Tickets run around $30 and buy you a scorecard, apps, and loads of San Diego and Northern California Brews.

A charity quiz night is being held at the Bedford Hall on Saturday, February 17 in aid of Alzheimer's Research UK.
It is being organised by the Hurn family as part of a fund-raising campaign this year which will also include having a runner in the London Marathon.
The campaign was prompted by the experience of Lizzie Hurn, whose mother Pamela suffered from Alzheimer's.
The quiz night starts at 6.30pm and will include a light dinner and is £6 per person with teams of between five and eight people. If you can't raise a full team, don't worry, you can be allocated to a team that's short.

Good morning! We started off the day heading to the Riu Emerald Bay for what is called a 'site inspection.' Basically we tour the property; looking at the rooms, pools and all public areas. We get to take pictures and get important information to pass along to our clients like you! It is a beautiful hotel. I have posted a few pics below!
We then headed inland and northwest to La Vinata Los Osuna. It is the largest Blue Agave Plantation and the oldest tequila distillery in Sinaloa. We did a tour of the distillery and even did some taste-testing! I am not a huge fan of tequila but I do have to say… it was pretty smooth!
Our amazing guide for the day!
We then headed east to a cute village called El Quelite. It is located about 25 miles northeast of Mazatlan. We were treated to lunch and a show at a restaurant called El Mesón de los Laureanos'. It serves traditional Mexican cuisine using traditional flavors. The food was so good. We were able to make our own tacos with a variety of meats and salsas! I loved the décor of the restaurant as well and the restrooms were so cute… just look at the pictures below! After lunch and the show we walked around the beautiful town and saw more of the local people and beautiful houses with the red tile roofs covered with bouganvillas.
Beautiful church in the middle of town.
Jaime and Jen having a great lunch!
Sit and relax and take a siesta!
Afterwards, it was time for dinner. We were having dinner at the Royal Villas after doing a site inspection of the hotel. The Royal Villas are in a good location and the view from the pool at sunset was amazing!
