Toronto, March 2, 2009 - Envision it announced today that it has submitted an entry in the Developer Category for the Microsoft Ignite IT Awards. With the Ignite IT Awards, the MSDN Code Awards and the TechNet Innovation Awards come together for the first time. Why? To recognize and reward the efforts of Canadian IT Professionals and Software Developers.
Envision IT's submission is for the Silverlight Image Manager for SharePoint Application. For over 20 years Envision IT has been building solutions using web technologies and we are considered the 'go-to' partner for Microsoft SharePoint, building integrated public web sites, Intranets, Extranets and web applications. We have found that image management for a web site poses numerous issues for organizations. With many content contributors, it can be difficult to enforce standards on image size and quality. It is also difficult for contributors to find the most appropriate images that they need.
Envision IT's solution replaces the standard image management controls in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) with a set of custom Silverlight 2.0 pages. The Silverlight Image Manager for SharePoint provides for a highly enhanced user experience. The positive impact is that content authors (who are typically not web content experts) are able to effectively manage their images and web content.
This mitigates the following issues:

Help Young Men Thrive in Their Priestly Formation
September 8, 2017 by Dan Burke
Filed under Avila Foundation, Avila Institute, Dan Burke, Donate, High Calling, Vocations
Through God's grace, the Avila Foundation has begun working with dioceses to prepare future priests for seminary! We have designed a powerful program, called The High Calling Program, in concert with recent requirements for a propaedeutic (preparatory) year established by the Holy See, which introduces future seminarians to formation regarding:
- Sacramental Participation with Emphasis on the Eucharist and Confession
- Foundational Liturgical and Mental Prayer Discipline and Practice
- The Richness of Our Biblical Tradition
- The Human Person, Social Media, and Pornography
- What it Means to Grow Spiritually in, Through, and Beyond Seminary
- How to Thrive in Seminary Life and Formation
St. John Paul II, after intense study, concluded that men were not properly prepared for success in seminary because of the absence of authentic Catholic culture and formation in their youth. Most of these men are lacking in one or both of these critical areas necessary to properly discern and pursue the call to serve the Church. Our program addresses these challenges head on.
The end result will be, by God's grace, that we will have more seminarians who are both truly called to the priesthood, and who thrive from the moment they enter into priestly formation.
Here is how you can sponsor a future priest. Our program is in need of faithful Catholics who can help us by:
- Providing Scholarships for Seminarians: The average cost per year for a seminary to educate one young man is $40,000 per year. The Avila Foundation is able to provide this program for $9,000 per year. With your generous help, we can provide scholarships to seminary applicants across the country.
- Providing Monthly Support: We need faithful Catholics who care about the priesthood to provide monthly support to our efforts through recurring giving of any amount. We are grateful for even the smallest monthly gift. We are also seeking those who can and will join our St. John of Avila Society for Priestly Formation by committing to a gift of $250 per month or more. This monthly gift will help us to provide a partial scholarship for a seminarian allowing more dioceses' the ability to send their men to us.
Will you join us in this critical mission to lift these men to new heights and prepare them to serve your parish and the parishes around the United States?
Please consider making an investment in our future priests through your donation.
Yours In Christ,
Dan Burke

Java Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples - Version 8.10, by Dr. Herong Yang
Creating, Compiling and Executing Java Programs
This section describes the process of Java program creation, compilation and execution. JDK 'javac' and 'java' commands are also described.
A Java application program is made of one or more classes and zero or more interfaces. One of the class must have the main() method as the execution starting point of the program. There are 3 steps involved in creating the classes and interfaces of a Java program, and running the program:
Creating a source code file can be done by a simple text editor, notepad, or a sophisticated Java development environment tool, like Eclipse, or Visual J++.
Compiling a source code file needs a Java compiler. The JDK package contains a Java compiler, which can be invoked by command "javac". The "javac" command takes source code file names as command line arguments. For example, entering the following command in command window will invoke the "javac" compiler to compile the "Hello.java" source code file:
C:\herong>javac Hello.java
The "javac" command also has several command options available:
For example, the following command:
C:\herong>javac -d .\cls -classpath .\lib;.\cls -sourcepath .\src .\src\Test.java
invokes the "javac" compiler, and tells it to:
During the compilation process, if the definition of a class or interface is used in the source code file, the compiler will use the following rules to search for the definition:
Executing a Java program needs a JVM. The J2SDK also contains a JVM, called HotSpot, which can be invoked by command "java". The "java" command takes the name of the starting class as the command argument. For example, the following command:
C:\herong>java -classpath .\lib;.\cls;. Test
invokes HotSpot to:
The "-classpath" option specifies the class path, which contains directories where the JVM will search for the bytecode files of the starting class and other classes when needed.

November 27, 2015 16:30 ET
VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Nov. 27, 2015) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) reports its financial results for the quarter ended September 30th 2015 (Q1 2016). This press release should be read in conjunction with Metanor's financial statement for the year ended September 30th 2015 and related Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which can be found on the Company website www.metanor.ca or on SEDAR www.sedar.com. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
Q1 2016 Highlights
Q1 2016 Operating and financial results
For the quarter, a total of 56,448 tonnes of ore at a grade of 4.6 grams per tonne were processed at the mill at a recovery rate of 96.6% which resulted in a production of 8,060 ounces of gold. The ounces continued to come mainly from the «A» vein. The «A» vein is narrower compared to the other veins at Bachelor, causing higher dilution of the ore once blasted, and finally lowering the feed grade to the mill. Moreover, the «A» vein in this sector near the O'Brien intrusive is intersected by a series of low grade stringers that increase the ore dilution. These lower grade ores resulted in lower ounces sold even if the tonnage is similar to the previous quarter, which increases the unit cost per ounce.
Outlook for the coming quarters
In the coming months, the production will gradually come from the Hewfran sector. The grade and thickness is generally higher in the Hewfran sector. Therefore, the feed grade will begin to increase as the production will come from the Hewfran sector.

On the road from Candlekeep
"So Baldur's Gate, got its name centuries ago when the great explorer Balduran returned from one of his escapades, spreading around wild stories of his adventures as well as huge amounts of wealth, some of which he spent to have a wall constructed around his oft-raided town," Leosin Erlanthar stated, glancing over at the half-orc who appeared preoccupied with shooing away a persistent fly. In an attempt to open dialogue between himself and the foreigner, the Harper had been casting Tongues intermittently during their journey from Candlekeep to the city.
At that moment, Croaker noticed the human looking in his direction, the half-orc quickly nodded, smiled and motioned for Leosin to carry on with his story. The Tongues spell had worn off some ten minutes ago, but Croaker wasn't going to let on. He disliked having to wait while Leosin stopped their journey so he could scratch through his numerous backpacks to find the small clay model ziggurat which he utilised for the casting of the spell. Leosin had proven to be an insatiable talker. Croaker had never met a person who loved the sound of his own voice this much and he knew a fair number of bards. He was certain that son-of-a-cunt Mills was aware of this.
Leosin smiled back. The half-orc was in better spirits this last half-hour and appeared to have taken quite an interest in the story. Feeling encouraged, Leosin continued, "The city grew from pirates' port to farmers' fort to the bustling urban centre that it is today. And even now, it refuses to be constrained, just wait till you see the Outer City…"
Some 15 minutes later…
Leosin paused for a moment, looking up at the sky, trying to gage the time, making a mental calculation in an attempt to determine how long it had been since his last casting of the Tongues spell.
Croaker noticed the quizzical frown play across Leosin's face and hastily enunciated the words yes and in the form of a question in the common tongue of this world succeeding to break Leosin's concentration.
"Ah, where was I?" said Leosin, before gathering his thoughts, "Did I mention Tymora's temple?" Based on the half-orc's thoughtful expression, Leosin got the impression that this was the first time Croaker was hearing about it, "Well, the Lady's Hall is made from the local granite mined near and around the city. It features a modest spire, rising only so slightly above the Upper City's already tall buildings…."
Croaker breathed a sigh of relief. His lesson with the patient Candlekeep monk seemed to have paid off. He didn't know how long he could keep fooling Leosin like this – at some point the human would eventually figure it out and begin his painful search for the little ziggurat. Croaker gazed at the road ahead hoping to catch sight of Baldur's Gate.
He hadn't yet decided how he was going to explain to Leosin that he had accidently cracked the clay model while playing with it on their last break.

Stopped at a red light on my back from work, I realize the landscape is slowly changing. New buildings have sprung up, new billboards, new shopping plazas. I have not being paying much attention to the changing world around me, so it startled me. For me time seems to have stopped. It moves now and then before pausing again.
Weekdays are turning into weekends as slowly the days go by. They don't mean much to me now. Fridays or Mondays, I find myself without her. I have lost my place in the world, it is doing fine without me. I have to learn to live by myself and I learn painfully every day. There's no one to tell me what to do, where to go anymore. I make and break my own plans. Nobody questions me, nobody gets upset with me and nobody owns me anymore. I've been set adrift directionless . This is my new life now.
My old life keeps enticing me like a mirage. But it's an illusion, it exists only in the backwaters of my mind. Every time I reach out for it, I get only emptiness. It slipped like sand grains from my palms. There's nothing I could do other than helplessly watch it go. There were no goodbyes either. I sometimes wonder what I'm still doing here. But I have promised her to take care of Nishu. He is the only dream I've got left. I'm miserly on promises but having failed her once, I can't fail her again.
I hear silence everywhere. I haven't quite made the transition from loneliness to solitude. I don't like my own company anymore. It unnerves me. I look back and everything seems like a dream – all our years together. She was the center of my universe and today she isn't there. I don't quite understand how this is possible. But in the dead of the night, in the deepening silence, I find its true. This is what it was all destined to come to.
I do what needs to be done, I'm careful not to push myself too much. I don't trust my fragile self can take much. But I have had no rest or respite from that black day when our life was uprooted by this disease. She didn't have any respite either, so I don't really have a right to complain. I have to go on whether I want or not. I haven't been given choices.
Together, we would have faced anything and we did. Now I'm not too sure, I falter and stumble at every step. Perhaps I'm a greenhorn, I've much to learn. I don't know what the coming days will bring, I have stopped caring. I know this pain will continue unabated, it might even worsen. As with everything else, I have got no control.
I have to bear the pain, embrace the loneliness and soldier on. These are the cards I have been dealt with. I don't know what you call it when you get all lousy cards. I never understood the game very well.
I'm down my partner but I'm in, I'm playing still.
"Did someone say that there would be an end, An end, Oh, an end, to love and mourning? "

My 987c unit started to have an issue the last few times out. I would turn it on and it would say it could't find the transducer and go into simulation mode. I would turn it off and on and it would finally work. The last time out the unit worked perfect the first few times I turned it on and then later in the day I turned it on and it couldn't find the transducer. I checked all conections and they looked perfect and the transducer looks perfect as well. Any help would be great.

Nobody's perfect. That's why a lot of intelligent motorists make big mistakes in car leasing, a business encompassing one-fourth of cars and trucks leaving the showroom.
Consider the plight of several co-workers of mine.
The first asked me about leasing before he signed up, so he knew what he was getting into. But circumstances changed, and he wound up driving more miles to work than planned. Facing a charge of 15 cents per mile over his annual mileage limit, he moaned daily about much he'd wind up paying.
A second was attracted to a low-cost, long-term lease deal. He went strictly for the deal rather than the car. He quickly hated that uncomfortable vehicle with the tinny radio, but was stuck commuting in it for four years. He didn't want to pay a penalty for breaking a lease, so he begged his wife and son to trade vehicles with him a couple of days a week.

Castle in the Mist by Robert J. McCarty
Book 2 in the Planet of the Dogs series finds the dogs and Daisy and Bean up against another threat to peace, love and happiness.
In a castle surrounded at night by a mysterious mist, Prince Ukko rules. The young prince, angry and hurt over the sudden loss of his father, whose fate is unknown, Ukko and his soldiers make war against neighboring peoples. When the traitorous Urch brothers, kidnap Nik and Nikki, the children of Bik, leader of the Stone City tribe, a year of peace that has reigned for the Stone City tribe is threatened.
Will the dogs and Daisy and Bean be able to help rescue Nik and Nikki from the Castle in the Mist before it is too late for them to stop the Stone City warriors from unwillingly going to battle against Prince Ukko and his Black Hawk tribe?
I'm impressed with the second book in the Planet of the Dogs series. Perhaps the smoothest flowing out of all three books, many of the charaters that readers have heard about in the first book, return in Castle in the Mist for another adventure. While still relying heavily on narration to move the story along, we see the results of what happened in Book 1 and how many of the characters work together to try and prevent the Stone City tribe from returning to their ways of war to rescue Nik and Nikki from the castle in the mist.
There are many new characters to enjoy as well: the healers, Sola and Anga, the Douglas family, and many new dogs who have journeyed from the Planet of the Dogs by Miss Merrie and the dog council's orders to help remind the people of earth about love, peace, and friendship.
Having read all three books now, I have a better feel for the author's vision for this series–at least, I hope I do. The illustrations provided by Stella M. McCarty add a great deal to the story.
I look forward to many more books in the Planet of Dogs series.

Planet of the Dogs by Robert J. McCarty
This is where it all began. Planet of the Dogs is the first in the Planet of the Dogs series of books by Robert J. McCarty.
The story begins "long, long ago" before dogs had ever come to Planet Earth. Many people helped settle the many beautiful areas of this planet, but with abundance came greed, and soon the people of Earth were threatened by warriors like the tribes of Stone City who had forgotten about love and friendship. Instead these warriors hurt people and stole from them.
Miss Merrie, queen on the Planet of Dogs, along with the dog council, decide that something must be done; that some dogs will journey to the Planet Earth to remind the people of Earth about love and friendship, in the hopes that they can all live in peace.
In this introduction to the Planet of the Dogs series, the Stone City warriors are set on invading Green Valley, where Tomas and Sara live with their children, Daisy and Bean. That is, until Daisy and Bean meet Lucy, Robbie, and Buddy from the Planet of the Dogs. The children journey to the Planet of the Dogs and learn of the dogs' plan to restore peace. Is it possible that such strange creatures can convince Bik, the leader of the Stone City warriors, that all people can live in peace?
Having already read, the third book in this series, Snow Valley Heroes, I was looking forward to seeing how the dogs had originally come to Earth. This book, like the others in this series, relies heavily on narration, as it is meant to be a story that is shared and read aloud. Actually, I think these would make excellent books to use in the classroom, as the concepts of problem solving, acceptance, and tolerance flows through all three of the Planet of the Dogs books.
If you love dogs, enjoy fantasy, and like to share stories with the family, Planet of the Dogs will certainly be a good choice for you.

Help! I Need More Bookshelves…
I don't know how you handle buying your children books, but my girls know the one thing I rarely say no to when they ask is books. The oldest was allowed to purchase $53 worth of books from the latest Scholastic flyer and I just finished volunteering at my youngest daughter's school book fair, where I plunked down almost $50. As long as they read them, I'm happy.
My daughters are very different from each other, and perhaps most noticeably in the area of reading. The older one avoids reading as if she might catch the Swine Flu by picking up a book, while the little one has been a lover of books since she was able to lift her head from the crib mattress. I have found two books, however, that my reluctant reader will gladly select when it is time for her daily reading: Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story and Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish.
The Katie & Kimble series by Linda Thieman is about a young girl named Katie Russell, who moves with her family to the country. In their new home, she discovers the ghost of a ten-year-old girl named Kimble. The two become fast friends.
The main source of conflict in the first book is that Kimble doesn't know what happened to her mother and asks Katie to help her uncover the truth. In Book 2, Katie and Kimble make a special wish that turns Kimble human for two days, which leads to all kinds of fun adventures.
These books are geared toward children ages 7 to 10, so our eight-year-old is the perfect age for these. She quickly made her way through Book 1, is almost done with Book 2, and is anxious for the author to finish with the third book in this series. You can find out more by visiting the Katie & Kimble blog.
Now it's your turn to share. Do you find it hard to say no when your children and/or grandchildren ask for books? Have you found any books your reluctant readers will sit down with? What is a recent favorite book you've read together?
If I Could Be Anything by Kevin McNamee
In this melodic, rhyming tale, a young boy imagines what it would be like if he could be anything he wants: a blue whale, a sloth, a snake, a frog, or one of several other animals. But he soon decides he would rather be with those he loves and that what he wants most of all is to be himself.
Poet and author Kevin McNamee's first release with Guardian Angel Publishing is a fantastic debut. Carrying with it a message similar to I Want to Be Somebody New! by Robert Lopshire, this beautifully illustrated story encourages children to appreciate who they are, while inviting them to use their imagination.
I wasn't familiar with the work of Marina Movshina prior to reading If I Could Be Anything, but I'll certainly be on the lookout for more from her, as the illustrations in this book match the story so well, and the design and colors used flow as smoothly as the prose.
Having now read two books by McNamee, I'll definitely be awating his next release. Youngsters are going to love this one!

The Sister Exchange by Kevin McNamee
Bill Cosby used to have a comedy skit about parenting back in the 70's. One of the points he used to make is that if you have only one child you're not really a parent. I didn't quite understand how he could say such a thing, but that was before I had two young girls close in age who fight constantly. If I remember the skit correctly, Cosby said you weren't a real parent if you only had one child because you didn't have to listen to things like, "She's touching me!"
In this charming and delightful book, Kevin McNamee tackles the issue of sibling rivalry in a fun and unique way. When Brianna, the oldest of two sisters, complains about her younger sister, Julianne, she tells her mother that she wants a new sister. Julianne is always bugging her, and following her around, wanting to do what she does, and it's plain old annoying.
So, Mom calls up the Sister Exchange and asks to trade in Julianne. That's when Brianna learns something surprising about Julianne and herself.
The Sister Exchange is one of those stories that will make you feel good by the time you reach the end. As your child follows along Brianna's journey to trade in her sister, they learn how special siblings can truly be; that despite those little things about them that might bug you, you're lucky to have them around.
In a fun and engaging way, McNamee has taken a serious issue and turned it into a story that will delight your children.
The illustrations by Kit Grady are the perfect compliment to this story. I was already a fan of her work, but she's outdone herself in her creation of these two sisters and the many humorous illustrations of the potential sister replacements; though I have to say that Hissy the cat is my favorite.
A great story with a superb ending, The Sister Exchange by Kevin McNamee is definitely a book you'll want to share with your little girls.

Poodle & Doodle by Donna Shepherd
Here's a book that both you and the kids will enjoy. Poodle & Doodle by Donna Shepherd tells the story of a prissy poodle that is all upset when her owner brings home a mangy mutt to join the family. Wasn't she dog enough? Especially when Leah has brought home Scruffy, a large, clumsy and sloppy Labradoodle.
Kids will love following along on this rhyming adventure, made complete with funny and charming illustrations created by Jack Foster. Parents will enjoy the easy way they can teach their young children about acceptance and friendship. And while the characters in this one are dogs, parents could easily relate this story to siblings and the many wonderful quirks brothers and sisters put up with out of love.
Poodle & Doodle will snuggle their way into your child's heart, just like they did with each other. This is a book that won't stay on the shelf long because your children will want to read it over and again, just like in our house.

As mortals, Siegfried and Roy are the only ones unaffected when Loki strips Endland and its God-beings of all their power, making himself supreme in all the universe. Our heroes face a battle royal, and ultimately defeat Loki in his palace at Valhalla. In doing so, they return magic to the Titans. But when they must choose between saving Queen Alexa, (King Midas' wife, kidnapped here to Endland by Titans, back in the Year of The Darkness) and returning her to Sarmoti, or taking with them all the magic that was once in their world... they must choose Alexa. Banished back to Sarmoti without the magic, they reunite King Midas with his wife and Prince Mallory and Princess Estella with their mother. This victory is the sweetest of all. -- Then, Siegfried and Roy, Stilts and Manticore head off on a journey together, using the Book of Sarmoti as their guide, they continue to search out forgotten spots where magic might slowly be returning.
Siegfried, Roy, Rumplestiltskin and Manticore avoid being slaughtered by the beast Grendel, when King Midas' son, Prince Mallory makes a heroic entrance, doing what his father cannot, rid the countryside of Grendel. Meanwhile, our heroes deliver the magic water to King Midas, but before he can drink, he accidentally touches his daughter, turning her into a golden statue. Suddenly, Grendel bursts into the castle and makes off with her on his shoulder, hurling Siegfried and Roy aside like toy soldiers. Our heroes journey to the monster's lair to save the princess. However their dangerous quest into the center of the earth reveals much. It turns out Grendel is not the horrific beast that he appears. Instead, he is a gentle giant whose sustenance, the very gold in the earth, has been drained by the power of the golden touch Midas has been using above ground. Without the gold "food", his own mother lies dying. Grendel sadly admits he made a pact with Prince Mallory. If he pretended to attack the town and allow the Prince to drive him away, he would be paid secretly in gold... and thus his mother might be saved. Siegfried and Roy realize that Prince Mallory has been overtaken by the entity of Pride and is doing its bidding, as he tries to usurp his own father's throne. They use the waters of Pactolus to return Princess Estella to her human form, and promise Grendel the king will gladly give him all the gold he can carry, when they return her unharmed. However, once back at the castle our heroes are held captive by a now-evil Prince Mallory. In a masterful sting, Siegfried and Roy manage to exorcise the entity of pride from the Prince, only to find themselves blasted through a portal into the very realm of Endland by its powers. There, in the Titans realm, where no human has ever survived, they realize the evil Titan god Loki, has engineered the kidnapping of all the entities; Envy, Pride, Greed, and Power. He plans to use them all in a takeover of the god kingdom of Endland.
Siegfried and Roy manage a brilliant escape from the Cave of No Return and are beseeched by the King's beautiful daughter, Princess Estella, to help save her father, King Midas, who has now been cursed by Greed with the power of the golden touch. Roy opens a mysterious book he keeps in his possession. The Book of Sarmoti is a record that shows the Titan's legendary path of destruction, during the Year of the Darkness, when they pillaged Sarmoti's magic. Following a map, Siegfried and Roy head to the River Pactolus because rumors have cropped up that magic is slowly making its way back into remote pockets of their world. The river's once-magical waters (if now revived) are their only hope of curing the King's golden touch, and banishing the entity Greed which has taken over his body and mind. At the river Pactolus, Siegfried and Roy must outsmart Medusa as they risk being turned to stone. But in a wild action sequence, they use an illusionist's penchant for misdirection and ultimately foil the monstrous she-beast. Racing back to Midas' castle with a gourd filled with the magic water, they are suddenly confronted by a massive beast, Grendel, as it attacks the village and castle. Princess Estella and all the town are in peril unless they now do something to vanquish the twelve foot monster.

"Have we read our own authors such as Dionne Brand, Afua Cooper and George Elliott Clarke? Do we know that the story of African-Canadians spans four hundred years, and includes slavery, abolition, pioneering, urban growth, segregation, the civil rights movement and a long engagement in civic life?" — Lawrence Hill
France was a colonial power in North America from the early 16th century, the age of European discoveries and fishing expeditions, to the early 19th century, when Napoléon Bonaparte sold Louisiana to the United States. French presence in North America was marked by economic exchanges with Indigenous peoples, but also by conflicts, as the French attempted to control this vast territory. The French colonial enterprise was also spurred by religious motivation as well as the desire to establish an effective colony in the St. Lawrence Valley. From the founding of Québec in 1608 to the ceding of Canada to Britain in 1763, France placed its stamp upon the history of the continent, much of whose lands — including Acadia — lay under its control. Through the use of encyclopedic articles, biographies, exhibits, study guides and searchable timelines, this collection features content related to this history.
The term Hochelaga historically referred to an Indigenous village the French explorer Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) visited on Sunday, 3 October 1535, during his second voyage in what is now Quebec (1535-1536). Hochelaga is an Iroquoian term which is either a variation of the word osekare, meaning "beaver path," or of the word osheaga, which translates as "big rapids." Today, Hochelaga refers to islands at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa rivers, as well as various electoral and city districts.

The Second World War was a defining event in Canadian history, transforming a quiet country on the fringes of global affairs into a critical player in the 20th century's most important struggle. Canada carried out a vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic and the air war over Germany, and contributed forces to the campaigns of western Europe beyond what might be expected of a small nation of then only 11 million people.5
In early Canada, the enslavement of African peoples was a legal instrument that helped fuel colonial economic enterprise. Enslavement was introduced by French colonists in New France in the early 1600s, and lasted until it was abolished throughout British North America in 1834.

Recently I had two patients ask me if I did cosmetic dentistry or should they go somewhere else for that. My answer was a resounding YES – we do cosmetic dentistry (and are really good at it too). In my mind cosmetic dentistry is making teeth look like teeth. If a friend tells you they like your new crown then I have not done it well enough because they should not be able to tell it is a crown (or a veneer or a filling). I have done cosmetic dentistry for many years now- from replacing a single crown on a front tooth to complete smile make overs.
We do cosmetic dentistry to look natural

For the longest time food has been a comfort, a friend, a delight. Something to turn to in despair, in happiness, in boredom, in loneliness and in creativeness.
It is because of this of course that I became overweight in the first place. Clearly this sort of relationship is not healthy. You should be able to to turn to friends and activities to help you with these emotions. Should being the key word in that sentence.
Slowly I have been working on changing how I view food. Trying to see it as nourishment- no more, no less.
Of course this has been easy on my good days, when I am happy and light and everything is right in the world. When I am stressed and tired, not so much.
Lately, however ,I have been sick quite a bit. While sick, every mouthful I have eaten has made me regret it later. It has caused me to feel rotten and gross and like my stomach has turned against me.
Because of this I have almost started to view food negatively. To view food as something necessary and not the comfort I have been used to.
I can't say for sure whether this is something permanent. It is only early days yet and my sickness is still fresh in my mind, who knows how I will feel in a month or two when this becomes a distant memory?
I am hoping it is something that sticks. I don't like the way I think of food. I do not like the way I turn to it when something goes wrong. It is this behaviour that could so easily derail me and make gain everything back if something was bad enough.
Let's hope it sticks.

Rihanna's New Single, Bitch Better Have My Money, Is Coming Tomorrow
It looks like this.
Many people looked at the Instagram below and figured that Rihanna would be dropping her much-anticipated eighth album tomorrow. However, careful sleuthing revealed that the Frida Kahlo–inspired cover art was actually for Rihanna's new single. Slightly disappointing, but still good! The Braille on the left side reads "Bitch Better Have My Money," a reference to the debut album from early '90s rapper AMG, who just got slightly richer.

Treatment of Instance-Based Classifiers Containing Ambiguous Attributes and Class Labels
The importance of attribute vector ambiguity has been largely overlooked by the machine learning community. A pattern recognition problem can be solved in many ways within the scope of machine learning. Neural Networks, Decision Tree Algorithms such as C4.5, Bayesian Classifiers, and Instance Based Learning are the main algorithms. All listed solutions fail to address ambiguity in the attribute vector. The research reported shows, ignoring this ambiguity leads to problems of classifier scalability and issues with instance collection and aggregation. The Algorithm presented accounts for both ambiguity of the attribute vector and class label thus solving both issues of scalability and instance collection. The research also shows that when applied to sanitized data sets, suitable for traditional instance based learning, the presented algorithm performs equally as well.

School of Sport, Tourism and the Outdoors
Start Date:
One of the toughest decisions you have to face as a graduate is what to do next…
Do you decide to stay in education and continue your studies?
Do you follow the advice of others and get on the job hunt?
Or do you take the time to satisfy your travel bug and work on a summer camp in the USA?
If you've already taken part in the Camp America programme, this decision can be even tougher! You'll no doubt be tempted to spend "just one more summer at camp", but there's that nagging voice in your head telling you it's time to join the 'real world'. It's hard to figure out which way to turn. Well now we have the perfect opportunity for you to combine all of the above; your academic achievements, job prospects and desire to work on an America summer camp into one! Camp America has joined forces with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) to offer our participants the chance to combine their camp experience with study. For the first time ever, you can now enjoy an incredible summer at camp whilst obtaining a Post Graduate Certificate at Masters Level (either 20 or 40 credits) in 'International Industry Based Experience'.
The Camp America Graduate course offers 20 credits that can be put towards a Masters level degree, which is typically 180 credits in total. So, an impressive 20 credits can be gained from completing a single summer with Camp America.
An introduction to your studies will be provided during a 2 day programme at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). This will be held at the Preston Campus. As this course relies upon independent study, the rest of your work will be conducted online and this will be the only time you're required to attend the University in person. During these 2 days you will attend lectures and workshops providing you with guidance on how to write and structure your asignment. You will also gain one-on-one time with your tutor who will help you plan your studies for the months ahead and discuss your assignment with you.
Your project in essence is a 4,000 word assignment which reflects your personal, professional and academic development that relates to your summer camp experience. Your reflection will be based upon recognised theoretical models and perspectives, which will be discussed during your 2 day induction at UCLan.
Upon enrolling onto the Camp America Graduate programme, you will be assigned a tutor who will be your main point of contact throughout the programme. They will help you with the direction of your assignment and its focus. Their role will be to guide you towards meeting the required learning objectives.
Once your assignment topic has been approved, you will have a set deadline to complete and submit your assignment. For some people, their chosen thesis will require a summer at camp with reflective diaries kept throughout. Others who do not intend to return to camp, will be able to link back to their past summers spent on the Camp America programme or relate it to their continued involvement with Camp America recruitment.
At the end of this first module you will be awarded a 20 Credit University Post Graduate Certificate in 'International Industry Based Experience'. If you wish to continue with your studies, you will be able to progress to the next module where you will be able to gain an additional 40 Credits by completing an 8,000 word assignment. This means that you can obtain a total of 60 Credits, which can be accredited towards a Masters level qualification.
These credits can be accumulated towards a number of relevant Masters Degree areas (acceptance onto full Masters programmes is dependent on undergraduate degree relevance to specific Masters programme).
If you've already done Camp America, you'll know first-hand how beneficial a summer at camp can be. Not only is it a whole lot of fun, but you also come away with a huge amount of personal development and an array of life-skills that are becoming increasingly desirable traits to employers. A summer at camp not only demonstrates determination, hard work and independence, but it also develops you into a responsible leader. Over the summer you will have become a role model to dozens of children who relied upon your motivation and drive to make their summer amazing. You unknowingly acquired management and organisational skills and learnt to be creative and use your initiative on a daily basis. By the end of the summer you will have grown into a confident, outgoing individual who can apply these skills into the workplace.
At Camp America we are very proud of the skills that can be developed whilst working on a summer camp in America and we understand how it can further your employability prospects. This new opportunity will allow you to put your Camp America summer into something tangible, by allowing you to gain credits for your experiences, which in turn will help you with your future academic achievements and positively impact on your continued professional development.

Dan is a graduate from Northumbria University (2009), with a 2:1 BA Honours degree in Sports Development with Coaching. A North-East native, Dan has always had a passion for sport and leisure which was the main driving force behind him going on to university and furthering his study in that area.
Whilst at Northumbria Dan started his camp experience and ended up experiencing 5 fantastic summers at Kamp Kohut, a private/residential camp in Maine. His first 2 summers were spent during the University summer breaks and his main roles were Soccer Counsellor and Senior Cabin leader.
