Learning to read: Tricking the brain
CNRS via Science Daily
While reading, children and adults alike must avoid confusing mirror-image letters (like b/d or p/q). Why is it difficult to differentiate these letters? When learning to read, our brain must be able to inhibit the mirror-generalization process, a mechanism that facilitates the recognition of identical objects regardless of their orientation, but also prevents the brain from differentiating letters that are different but symmetrical.

Recess redress: The importance of play in education
By Suzanne Mason
Ask any child what his or her favorite subject is in school, and most will say recess. Yet a recent Gallup poll conducted by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that up to 40 percent of U.S. school districts have reduced or eliminated recess to focus more on academics. Despite these changes, recess still remains an important part of a child's education. In fact, a new study by the University of Lethbridge in Canada showed that free play can help with the core essentials for development in the brain.

Back to school without vaccines? Growing concern in some states
NBC News
As kids across the country head back to school, a growing number may walk through the doors without first getting vaccines. All 50 states require vaccinations for children going to public school, but nearly every state allows exemptions. In Vermont, Michigan, Idaho and Oregon more than 5 percent of kindergartners had non-medical exemptions last year, according to the CDC, well above the national average of 1.8 percent. Nationally, rates have been declining for many childhood vaccines.

A new twist on concentration: Standing while you work
District Administration Magazine
A growing workplace health trend is moving to classrooms: More schools are adding standing desks as a tool to increase alertness and combat childhood obesity. In 2012, more than one-third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "One of the main battles we fight today is technology-induced inactivity — we're able to just sit in front of a screen for most of our waking hours, and as a result people have become very sedentary compared to past decades," says Mark Benden, an associate professor at Texas A&M who researches classroom ergonomics and childhood obesity.

Fiscal recovery buoys K-12 budgets as school year opens
Education Week
The modest but steady recovery of state K-12 budgets over the past few years is expected to continue, national experts on education finance say, although to what extent schools and districts will feel a real impact from budget changes for the 2014-2015 school year is an open question. In the current budget year, most state lawmakers have decided to continue reinvesting in public schools through their traditional "foundation" programs, which generate much of the state aid for K-12.

Scientists find differences in brains of those with dyslexia
HealthDay News via U.S. News & World Report
Researchers have discovered that people with dyslexia have disrupted network connections in their brains. Dyslexia — the most commonly diagnosed learning disorder in the United States — causes problems with reading and writing. Previous research showed that brain activity is disrupted in people with dyslexia, but most of those studies focused only on a small number of brain regions. This new study used functional MRI to analyze how multiple brain regions use networks to communicate with each other, something called functional connectivity.

Need help picking the right learning game? Some things to consider
To make sense of the broad and complex world of games and learning, we're inclined to create neatly organized lists and categories. The truth is that there are so many different kinds of learning games, it's difficult to break them down into clear-cut categories. Especially in an atmosphere of ed-tech entrepreneurship that aims to disrupt our habitual way of thinking about education, familiar classification structures can sometimes hold us back more than they move us forward.

Social class makes a difference in how children tackle classroom problems
Indiana University via Science Daily
Social class can account for differences in how parents coach their children to manage classroom challenges, a study shows. Such differences can affect a child's education by reproducing inequalities in the classroom. With the widening gaps in educational outcomes between social classes, the researcher suggested that this study could help schools become more aware of these differences and make moves to reduce the inequalities.

Marion County Animal Services or Humane Society: 352-873-7387
While die-hard squirrel, rat, and rodent exterminators might prefer colder weather and snow, The snake control expert says he wouldn't mind seeing warmer temperatures. No doubt the squirrel, rat, and rodent move less in warmer weather, he says, but so do the exterminators. Although several species of wildlife roam Ocala, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels and rats are considered pest wildlife.
"People stay in their stands because they can," The snake control expert said. "We have a lot fewer problems. Trespass complaints are down, injuries are down, people just don't do inappropriate things, and it makes it more enjoyable. It might be more difficult for tracking, but that goes back to practice, placement of your shot." Florida has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Ocala snake species and mammals.
The DNR recently held a meeting in Thief River Falls to take input on helping the agency set squirrel, rat, and rodent population goals for northwestern Florida. As part of that process, a team consisting of landowners, conservation groups and others met twice over the summer and recommended that squirrel, rat, and rodent numbers decrease in all but two of 13 permit areas included in the process. Remember to treat the wild animals of Ocala, Florida, with respect and care.
According to The snake control expert, who attended the meeting, exterminators will play a vital role in making that happen. But despite increased opportunities for exterminators to shoot squirrel, rat, and rodent this fall, The snake control expert said only 5 percent of the state's exterminators traditionally shoot three or more rat and mouse. Ten percent will shoot two, he said, while a vast majority - 85 percent - are satisfied to take one rat and mouse. Florida has an abundance of wildlife, and Ocala is no exception.

Metatarsus adductus is a common foot deformity noted at birth. It causes the front half of the child's foot (forefoot) to turn inward.
A congenital limb defect is when an arm or leg doesn't form normally as a baby grows in the uterus. The baby is born with the defect.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited (genetic) bone disorder that is present at birth. It is also known as brittle bone disease. A child born with OI may have soft bones that break (fracture) easily, bones that are not formed normally, and other problems. Signs and symptoms may range from mild to severe.
When one of those precious little hands isn't as perfectly formed as it should be, an early visit to a hand surgeon should be at the top of your agenda for your newborn.
In a normal hip joint, the top (head) of the thighbone (femur) fits snugly into the hip socket. In a child with DDH, the hip socket is shallow. As a result, the head of the femur may slip in and out.
Clubfoot is a deformity of the foot. It's when one or both feet are turned inward. The condition affects the bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is an inherited (genetic) disorder of the muscles. It is called a neuromuscular disease. There are several types. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a rare type.
Nursemaid's elbow is a type of elbow injury. It's when a forearm bone (radius) slips out of place from where it normally attaches to the elbow joint.
Tibial torsion is an inward twisting of the shinbones. These bones are located between the knee and the ankle. Tibial torsion causes a child's feet to turn inward.
Femoral anteversion is an inward twisting of the thighbone (femur). This health problem causes a child's knees and feet to turn inward. The child may have a pigeon-toed appearance.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (or Perthes disease) is a rare hip condition that affects children.
Lordosis is a deformity of the backbone (spine). It's when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) in the lower back curve inward more than normal.
A spine affected by kyphosis has a forward curvature of the back bones (vertebrae) in the upper back area, giving an abnormally rounded or humpback" appearance."
Osgood-Schlatter disease is an overuse condition in children. It's when the tendon in a knee becomes injured and inflamed.
Scoliosis is a deformity of the backbone (spine). It's when the spine has a side-to-side curve. The curve of the spine measures 10 degrees or more.
Scoliosis can affect more than one family member. Any child with a parent or sibling who has scoliosis should be screened by a health care provider, advises the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.

Part 4 of 6 in the engagement ring series
Remember those times when we were given an allowance and got to go spend it at the toy store?
For me, it was those times when we would take our allowance and walk up to Wally World. For us, that was Wal-Mart. (You know you are a city when you have a Wal-Mart!)
But we would take our 30 bucks and head up Johnson Ferry to the Wal-Mart. Sometimes stopping at the Shell on the way to get a slushie for the last half of the walk to Wal-Mart.
Once we got to Wal-Mart, the decisions had to start being made. But first, we stirred up a little trouble in the sports section throwing the footballs. Or maybe trouble brewed in the toy gun section as we made a ruckus shooting all the toy guns.
But eventually, we would have to head home and we didn't want to head home empty-handed.
Choices had to start being made. How far would our 30 bucks (or maybe now 28 bucks after the slushie) go?
At this point in our life, the decisions that we made were solely based on how much joy they would provide. It was such a simple way of life.
We need to determine if we wanted to get the GI Joe, the NERF football, a pack of baseball cards and a set of pogs. Or did we want to go the route of getting two wrestling action figures and a wrestling ring for them to fight in? Or maybe we could get the pogs and two wrestling action figures with a smaller NERF football.
Oh the decisions!
We had to give and take and weigh the amount of joy. Would more joy be felt from more items? Or did the fewer (bigger) items lead to more joy for a longer time?
We had to determine what was most important to us and then make the purchase. Sometimes it was that we wanted the biggest possible toy we could get. While other days, it was more of the stay medium size and go for quantity.
But even before we realized it, we were practicing how to stretch a dollar…things that have now been passed down to others or donated. But we practiced this idea and didn't even know it.
Even 20 years later, we are going through the same thought processes. But instead of determining whether to get the big NERF football or the smaller one with a set of pogs, we are determining whether to get the larger diamond with lesser clarity or a smaller diamond with great clarity, color and cut.
A much pricier decision, but nonetheless the same decision process.
Decisions beyond carat…
The real problem with buying a ring is understanding how far each decision on one of the four Cs can take us.
When we went to Wally World, it was easy to do the math in our head (or on our fingers) of what each decision meant.
If we went with the big NERF football, it would cost us 12 bucks, giving us only 18 bucks to spend. But if we went with a smaller NERF football, it would cost six bucks and this would allow us to spend 24 dollars elsewhere. This meant we would be able to get the pogs and even something else.
But with a ring, we have no clue what each of the different Cs cost. It's hard to determine this when you are sitting in the jeweler looking at these diamonds.
So many different aspects are involved and so many different scenarios could be played out that we really don't have the time while in the jeweler to make necessary decisions.
I mean, hell, you could look at an excellent cut diamond with a color grade of G, a clarity grade of VS2 and be a 1.01 carat. Then you could do another iteration of excellent cut, H color, clarity of SI1 and 1.02 carat.
And that is changing three variables and getting two different prices. And we don't know which variable caused the difference in price.
So many variables and different combinations need to be analyzed. This makes it hard to get an apple-to-apples comparison.
That's what I tried to accomplish for us here.
Small versus large – the NERF football guide for diamond rings
Alright, so here is what I did: I went to Pricescope.com and utilized their search and compared tool to get these prices.
I tried to hold the variable constant in order to make the comparisons as apple to apple as possible. I only changed one variable at a time.
Then, we will walk through an example of how far your budget could actually take you.
We must start with shape. The more popular shape for a ring these days is the round cut. Also, many people choose a cushion cut. But this is really your lady's preference.
This is a decision that you will need to work to get, either via your lady herself, or her sister or her best friend.
From a price standpoint, there is definitely a difference. I leveraged the resources over at bluenile.com for this one. Given all other aspects the same (color, clarity, cut and carat in the range of 1.00-1.05), they looked for the lowest priced diamond of each shape.
What they found was that the round diamond was the most expensive at about $5,404. The cushion, on the other hand, was the least expensive $3,799. A princess diamond was up there with a price of about $4,124 and then an oval diamond at $4,531.
So you can see how the difference in shape impacts price. This may not be an area you can budge on because your future fiancée will probably want a particular shape.
But the difference between prices from a round to a cushion is nearly 50%! So, you may want to push your lady down that road!!
Here is an area that, I personally, don't budge. I think that this is the MOST important aspect of the diamond.
This is what causes it to shine and bling. Personally, (more of my preference later) I would only go with an excellent cut.
But utilizing the round diamond as my example, I took a look at the differences in price based on cut. Take a look at the chart below of three similar round shape diamonds with only a different cut.
You can see how as we move down the cut scale, the price of the diamond falls. The example used for the good cut has a different color, but you get the gist of the example.
So, by going all the way down to a fair cut, we could save nearly 20%. This means we could use those saved dollars to get a bigger carat. But the question is whether you want your big diamond to have a dull appeal in the light.
That is what you are giving up when you go down the cut scale.
This is an area I think we can really stretch our dollar. This is the decision that is looking at how many specs are seen within the diamond.
There is an area of the spectrum that we can really save some money to spend on another C, by also not losing any appeal of the diamond to the human eye. Because most of the specs (and the reason for lower grades) can only be seen with a microscope.
Take a look at the examples that I pulled for round diamonds and only adjusting the clarity.
Here I kept everything the same, except the clarity. We made the cut of the diamond Very Good, but we just wanted to see how changing the clarity impacts the price of the diamond.
And what we can see is that in the middle of the clarity grid (these are ranked from best clarity on the top to worst on the bottom), we can get great value.
Remember that in a past post we talked about the ability to really go down to clarity of SI1 and not be able to see any issues with the diamond from the human eye.
So, if we were to go all the way down to SI1, we could save nearly 50% relative to getting a basically flawless diamond. This allows us to still get great quality while also being able to save a good chunk of change to spend on one of the upcoming Cs.
This is another one of those factors where we can move down the spectrum and stretch the dollar a little bit.
Remember, here is where we are making the decision to how clear the diamond is. We can choose colorless, which is the best, but we can also get near colorless (we wouldn't be able to tell the difference) and save some dollar bills!
Here is the example that I pulled by keeping all factors the same with the exception of color for a round shape diamond.
Remember that D-F is the range that is deemed to be colorless. And G-J are deemed to be near colorless.
This means that we can move down the color spectrum into that G-J range and really save some moolah. By choosing a diamond with a G color rather than a D, we are saving nearly 11.50% (all things equal).
If we go all the way down to a diamond with a J color, then we would be able to save nearly 22%.
Again, these are the decisions that make a difference in how much we can spend on the other aspects that mean more to us. We, also, don't want to make a poor decision with color (or clarity) where the decision actually diminishes the diamond to the human eye.
For me, diminishing the diamond to the eye with a microscope is fine… but not the human eye.
This is the last C, but the one that everyone loves.
We all know that the bigger the diamond, the more it costs. But what I wanted to look at is by just how much more is it. And can we use some of our savings from color and clarity to help get a bigger diamond.
With the below chart I was trying to get an idea on the costs as we increase carats. I used the round diamond again and tried to keep everything the same.
In this example, we see how the price goes up as we get a bigger diamond. Duh!
The only reason that the 2.01 carat diamond is less is due to the cut being good versus very good.
But the bigger point I wanted to show was at the 1.00 versus the 1.01 diamond. The 1.01 carat diamond is nearly $200 more than the 1 carat diamond. But we have already seen that we would be able to save much more than this with decisions with the clarity and color.
That means we can use those savings to bump up the carat. And along the way, we have held the cut the same. So we are getting the best of both worlds. Great sparkle with a great size!
One last example to hit the point home
I ran one last example to hit home this point.
So take a look at three rings that I pulled and kept everything the same except for carat.
But say my budget was only $10,000 or $15,000 and I really wanted to get option 2 or 3.
So, I changed those two Cs that we talked about earlier to help get us into budget. I changed color and clarity.
And here you can see how, by going down just one notch on color and keeping everything else the same for diamond #2, I was able to get an excellent cut diamond for under $10,000. That one decision saved me nearly $1,600!
Then in order to get option 3, I was able to go one-step down in clarity and one notch down on color to reduce the price of a 2+ carat diamond by over $5,000!
This is what I have meant about being able to move the levers with the clarity and color Cs to allow us to be sure we keep the excellent cut and increase what we all want to increase… the carat.
Putting a bow on it
For some people, they have already been able to determine how much they want to spend and that makes the process a bit easier. Because you can play the same game we did above and find the best ring for your money.
Others may know what their lady wants from a shape and carat standpoint and we can then juggle the other Cs to get to a price that best fits our budget.
But for others, they may not have any starting point. Here is what I suggest:
- Don't budge on cut. Anchor your decision with an excellent cut diamond and don't budge.
- Go with clarity of VS2 or SI1. This gets the most bang for your buck and allows for us to improve carat.
- For color, go with either a G or H. If you want better that is fine, but you will have to sacrifice size. I think that staying in this range gives you the ability to really maximize the size.
- And then play around with carat to find the appropriate size that fits into what you are able to spend.
When you get to that carat option, you have to make the decision of the most affordable price based on one of two things. How much you already have saved? Or, given your financial situation are you going to be able to save the amount of money needed to buy the particular diamond in time for when you want to propose to your lady?
That's how you determine what your goal needs to be for an engagement ring.
Finally, we are able to now walk into that jeweler with a game plan. With an ability to measure the diamonds just like we did when we were determining whether to get the small NERF football or the big one.
After you make this purchase, be sure to stop and get yourself a slushie… just for old times' sake, and because you deserve it!

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Quantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

Make a Donation#GivingTuesday
Happy #GivingTuesday! Donations made today support our arts and enrichment programs to help children and youth heal from trauma in Chicago.
#GivingTuesday: Arts Programming & Other Enrichment Opportunities
Since re-launching our arts programming through Giving Tuesday 2016, we have hosted more than 100 young people for multiple impactful arts camps and other activities. Our kids are thrilled with these special days to blend therapeutic techniques, communications strategies and the arts to gain new skills and have fun!
#GivingTuesday 2018 is no different. We've set our goal at $15,000 to continue funding our arts camps, activities and other enrichment programming to help our young people heal. And we need your help!
Your donations go incredibly far for kids at Kaleidoscope, and we're counting on your support! Our state funding does not cover these programs, so we rely fully on your generosity to make them happen.
Your Impact
Each of the young people we serve has experienced trauma and has specialized mental health, behavioral, medical and/or pregnancy and parenting needs. Your generous support on #GivingTuesday provides the arts programming youth need to express themselves, heal and have fun.
Led by our clinicians and local artists, our arts activities:
- Equip our clients to express themselves through a variety of art mediums, encouraging their continued healing and communication in healthy, effective ways that best work for them and their specific needs.
- Bring the artistic resources, tools and other organizations right to our clients, so they can build relationships and networks of support outside of their services with Kaleidoscope.
- Provide our young people with all-day care during their breaks from school, ensuring their safety and providing caregivers with free childcare. (Learn more about our violence prevention efforts via our YEAH Initiative.)
How Your Dollars Help
Donations made on #GivingTuesday make our arts programs and other enrichment opportunities possible – and your dollars go incredibly far at Kaleidoscope. Here are some ways your gifts can be used to cover our costs:
- $25 can cover the snacks at one day of camp
- $50 can cover the supplies for one camp session
- $100 can sponsor a child for our arts camp, covering their entire expenses for a week (transportation, meals, snacks and supplies)
- $250 can cover the costs of a one-day program at Kaleidoscope, for arts or another enrichment activity
Other Ways to Get Involved
We're calling on every one of our supporters – Facebook fans, friends of our board, Chicagoans who care about helping children heal – to donate today in honor of #GivingTuesday. There are plenty of other ways to get involved with us, too!
- Become a foster parent to open your home to a child who needs love, care and support.
- Subscribe to our e-updates, with occasional emails about our programs and services.
- Join our volunteer leadership via our board of directors or associates board.
- Volunteer to help with our food drive, which ensures our families in need can enjoy a holiday meal this season. Contact Liz to get started.

Contemporary Art Evening Auction on June 30th at Sotheby's, London
Bets are on as records are anticipated to be broken in Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening sale! Last week Barnebys Journal featured two articles on the two most publicized items. The Francis Bacon triptych portrait of his burgler-turned-lover George Dyer, a type of lot would have sold for under $4 million ten years ago but should fetch between $20 and $33 million during today's sale and Scottish artist Peter Doig's Country-Rock (Wing Mirror). A contender for the world record price for a British artist at auction currently held by Damien Hirst's Golden Calf, sold at Sotheby's in 2008 for $17.3 million.
Two other works by Bacon are available in the sale: Study For Portrait of PL, No 1 estimated at $7.5 million (1957) and Seated Man, expected to reap between $2.5 and $3.4 million (1957). Other artists included in the 59 lot sale are Lucio Fontana, Adriana Varejao, Gerhard Richter, Cindy Sherman, Rosemarie Trockel and Chris Ofili.
Post War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale on July 1st at Christie's, London
It is not a coincidence that Christie's, like Sotheby's has featured a Francis Bacon piece on the front page of their catalog, the artist's price index is currently world leading. Christie's has two of his pieces up for sale Study for head of Lucian Freud (1967) from the collection of Roald Dahl, who died in 1990. The celebrated children's book author bought the painting for £2,850 in 1967 and although the estimate is not revealed with reference to past sales it should sell between $8 - $10 million and Head I (1958) estimated at $4.3 - $6 million
YBAs are a regular feature in Contemporary Art auctions, several pieces by Damien Hirst are offered at both Sotheby's and Christie's, pieces by Rachel Whiteread, Jenny Saville and Martin Creed are offered only in the latter's 79 lot sale.
Contemporary Art Evening Auction on July 2nd at Phillips, London
Phillips 29 lot sale includes an Andy Warhol 'fright-wig' Self Portrait from 1986, if the piece sounds familiar it's because a much larger pink version was recently sold for $39 million by Skarstedt at Art Basel. This smaller blue piece (22 x 22 in.) is estimated at the smaller price of $4.3- $6 million.
The sale also includes younger artists such as Wade Guyton (b. 1972), Kaws (b. 1974), David Ostrowski (b. 1981) and Lucien Smith, all Americans. Smith is the youngest of the lot, born in 1989. The market for Smith's work has rapidly inflated, 23 of pieces have been sold at auction since his auction debut in November 2013 when Phillips sold a canvas he made as a student at Cooper Union entitled Hobbes, The Rain Man, and My Friend Barney / Under the Sycamore Tree at double its high estimate. Three days later, Sotheby's sold a piece for four times its high estimate at $100.000.

SANS Overview
What is the difference between SANS Institute and the SANS Technology Institute?
The SANS Institute (sans.org) is the oldest and by far the largest and most trusted research and cybersecurity training organization in the world. Since 1989, the SANS Institute has trained over 100,000 information security professionals, including the leaders of cybersecurity for the biggest and most important government agencies, defense institutions, and commercial entities from the world's largest banks and technology companies to healthcare organizations and power companies.
The SANS Technology Institute (sans.edu), founded in 2005, is a legal subsidiary of SANS that is accredited as an independent entity separate from the larger organization with its own Board of Directors, Faculty, staff, and programs. Although graduate school courses are built on SANS content, there are some important differences in taking a SANS training class through the SANS Technology Institute (sans.edu) rather than through SANS Institute (sans.org). First, students must apply (and be accepted) to a graduate program. Admitted students must then register for courses (and pay tuition) through the graduate school. Once registered, students are given a syllabus for their upcoming course which details course requirements and deadlines. In order to pass a course (and earn a letter grade), students must complete all required course components listed in the syllabus within by the deadline listed on their syllabus.
What degrees are offered by the SANS Technology Institute?
- The SANS Technology Institute is authorized to grant a Master of Science degree in Information Security Engineering (MSISE). Additionally, the school offers and graduate certificate programs in Cybersecurity Engineering (Core), Cyber Defense Operations, Incident Response, Industrial Control Systems Security and Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking.
Is the SANS Technology Institute accredited?
- Yes, the SANS Technology Institute is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. You can read more about our accreditation here.
- The SANS Institute (sans.org) is the oldest and by far the largest and most trusted research and cybersecurity training organization in the world. Since 1989, the SANS Institute has trained over 100,000 information security professionals, including the leaders of cybersecurity for the biggest and most important government agencies, defense institutions, and commercial entities from the world's largest banks and technology companies to healthcare organizations and power companies.
Course Delivery
Are courses taken live in classrooms, online, or both?
While most courses can be taken through an online modality, master's degree students will have some in-person requirements for their program. Graduate certificate students may complete their courses completely online or via a combination of live and online modalities.
For technical courses that require a GIAC exam, students take these through Pearson VUE at proctored locations near where they live.
How and where do graduate students get live classroom instruction?
The SANS Institute conducts more than 200 events ("Residential Institutes") at locations held throughout the world. You can view a list of all locations here.
When a graduate student attends a week long live event, he/she will continue to work on the associated exam, whitepaper, or project, until the course requirements are completed.
How do the online classes compare to those at the live events?
SANS' rigorous ratings and feedback system confirms that we maintain a superior student experience and consistently high levels of student satisfaction in all modalities. Research has proven, there are no statistically significant differences in the tested learning outcomes of students who take our courses in a live setting versus those who take them through an online modality.
We encourage you to evaluate free demonstrations of OnDemand and vLive as you consider and explore graduate school programs.
Are there time limits to complete individual courses?
Three credit courses must be completed within 90 days from the start date. White papers, group projects, and presentations have completion timelines ranging from 30 days to 90 days.
Upon admission to a program, students receive an academic plan that will outline the course requirements and all the associated timelines.
Are there semesters and trimesters, or is the program 'open enrollment'?
- Students operate on individual 12-month timelines based on when the student is admitted. The first 12-months in a program constitute an individual's first year. Courses are taken throughout the year based on the academic plan each student creates with their assigned student advisor.
- While most courses can be taken through an online modality, master's degree students will have some in-person requirements for their program. Graduate certificate students may complete their courses completely online or via a combination of live and online modalities.
Program Completion Timelines
How long does it take to complete the master's degree program?
- The program is designed to take three years, on average, to complete. This timeline requires students take approximately 12-14 credits per year while committing about 10 hours per week to their studies, when enrolled in a course. Over time, participation in the program is subject to a Satisfactory Academic Progress policy that requires students to complete at least eight (8) credit hours of work each year, consistent with the requirement that students complete the program within a maximum five years from the date of their matriculation.
How long does it take to complete a graduate certificate program?
- Certificate programs are designed to be completed between 18-24 months. This timeline requires students take approximately two courses per year while committing about 10 hours per week to their studies, when enrolled in a course. Over time, participation in the program is subject to a Satisfactory Academic Progress policy that requires students to complete all graduate certificate coursework within 30 months from the date of their matriculation.

It is fascinating that Aljazeera English is broadcasting the best coverage of the confrontation. I subscribe to Aljazeera English (and a dozen more Arab language Satellite channels) through a cable box system that is linked to the Internet through Talfazat.com of Neulion Video. Very inexpensive and affordable and comprehensive.
I used to subscribe online to watch Aljazeera English and other stations off my computer but as much as I love the computer and the Internet, I prefer to watch the news on my 50 inch TV screen in my family room or in the office where I can concentrate on the news as it happens.
Check it out.

Our website is designed to spotlight the many types of liposuction available to patients across the United States. - Senior Editor of USLiposuction.org
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2016
As recently as 2014, liposuction remained one of the most performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Numbers released by that organization showed 222,051 liposuction procedures were performed in 2015 which was an increase of 5% over 2014. Even with its continuing popularity, many patients are unsure of the options that are open to them when it comes to having liposuction. A new website, USLiposuction.org, aims to share the latest medical information and news about liposuction.
According to the senior editor of USLiposuction.org, "Our website is designed to spotlight the many types of liposuction available to patients across the United States. From laser assisted liposuction to ultrasound assisted liposuction to non-invasive liposuction, there are many choices available to the public and we want to provide all of the information they need on our website. There's even a glossary of liposuction medical terms that is written in a way that is easy for patients with no medical training to understand."
Liposuction is when excess fat that has proven hard to remove through diet and exercise is withdrawn from a patient. The excess fat is taken from areas under the skin through the use of a small incision that allows for the fat to be suctioned out of the body. The senior editor went on to say that "one of the reasons the site was created was the fact that patients need all of the information they can get in order to make an informed decision before undergoing liposuction. However, not everybody across the country has easy access to doctors with the experience and expert medical knowledge needed to perform such a procedure. We plan to educate and inform the public with an ongoing series of articles that are well-researched in order to give consumers the ability to make an informed decision."
The site also steps out from the world of medicine and spotlights liposuction in the entertainment industry. "There are a good number of celebrities who have more than likely undergone liposuction but have not admitted it publicly," states the senior editor. "We'll show photos that point towards surgery and let our readers make their own decision."
USLiposuction.org features a blog that is updated on a regular basis as well as a growing database of articles and features. According to the senior editor, future articles will focus on research and medical breakthroughs in the field of liposuction as well as changes in the way various liposuction techniques are performed on patients.
About USLiposuction.org:
USLiposuction.org aims to become the leading online resource for issues, information and news related to the field of liposuction for both current and future patients.

Liquid Colored Antique Sample Kit
Perfect for Testing, Color Matching and Smaller Concrete Projects
Standard Kit – $35.95 per Kit
Includes: 4 oz. Samples of Black, Russet, Cumin, Chocolate, Pumpkin and Plum
Custom Kit – $40.95 per Kit
Includes: Select Six 4 oz. Sample Colors
Our Liquid Colored Antique Sample Kit is perfect for testing and small decor projects. Choose from over 40 colors to create your own custom kit. Liquid Colored Antique Concrete Stain can be used to restore faded stained or integrally-colored outdoor concrete and can be applied directly on top of an existing sealer. On smooth surfaces, the pigment will collect where you spray it most heavily. On stamped or textured surfaces, the pigment will flow to the lowest part of the impression adding natural looking highlights. The liquid vehicle evaporates leaving the pigment to shadow or accent the surface. Liquid Colored Antique Concrete Stain can also be used to correct imperfections due to poor preparation or unexpected concrete imperfections after acid staining.
For more information on the best way to renew color on patios, pool decks, walkways and other outdoor stamped or textured concrete, listen to our podcast at directcolors.com/listen.
Allow the final coat of antiquing solution to dry for a minimum 6-8 hours depending on weather conditions before sealing. All decorative concrete surfaces must be sealed with a quality concrete sealer to maintain their color and general appearance over time. For best results with this product, select a sprayable sealer such as the Sprayable Satin Finish or AC1315 High Gloss Sealer or carefully apply with a short-napped roller.
Liquid Colored Antique samples can be applied to concrete using a foam brush for testing purposes and later removed with soapy water and a bristle brush so consider applying colors directly on the project concrete for more accurate testing results. Visit our Liquid Colored Antique Photo Gallery for project pictures and inspiration.
Key Liquid Colored Antique Sample Kit Features:
• Perfect for testing color and application technique
• Can be applied to previously sealed concrete or surfaces that cannot be acid stained
• Covers approximately 4 sq. ft. per sample, depending on application technique and surface conditions.
• Shake well before use. Apply using a spray bottle, sponge or foam brush
• Over 40 colors available
• Adds depth and dimension to stamped or stenciled concrete
• Available in Sample Sizes, six color sample kits, and custom sample kits

Jagwar Ma - Howlin'
Beat Records
This product is currently sold out.
Format // 12''
Jagwar Ma's debut album, Howlin, takes the listener on a trip back through the alternative rock of the '90s, making stops along the way to delve into shoegaze, baggy dance jams, spaced-out psychedelic dream pop, bedroom electronic, and even the much maligned big beat sound. The genius move the duo makes is that when they come back from their trip they only brought back the good parts and none of the elements like "Funky Drummer" breakbeats or grunge guitars that would have dated the project.
