Dealing with dyslexia, according to Amy Chiang, a certified dyslexia practitioner with Pathway to Literacy.
Thirty million people in the U.S. have dyslexia. Most don't know they have it. Chiang said about 80% of children placed in special education programs have dyslexia.

He Says: The Sound Inside is Quietly More Powerful Than the Loud and Frantic Rose Tattoo –
Basking in the hallowed spotlight, the perfect formulation of Bella, deftly portrayed by the magnificent Mary Louise Parker (" Angels in America ") slowly fills in the tense details of what lies ahead in The Sound Inside . Is she writing her new novel, speaking it out loud to the tree gods for approval, or is she telling us her tale so we may understand or collude with her? Or is it something more obscure? It's hard to tell. In someways, "you don't want to know, or you just don't know" is the only possible response that one can truly give. That's the quandary where we find ourselves. Balancing on one of the most beautiful wrought entanglements, we navigate a thin line of understanding hidden in the layers upon layers. Is it all just creation, or a story of truth and confession?
Parker slips in quietly, tasking us to keep up and give in. She's just " so good, it enrages me ", expanding our vantage point outward and inward all at the same time. Freeing up the " velocity of thought " with the inevitable is what is on hold within Adam Rapp's ( Nocturne, Noble Gases ) delicious new play, The Sound Inside , and as directed with sure footed wisdom and expertise by David Cromer (Broadway's The Band's Visit ), the piece floats forward in segments, delicately ushering in the ideas of encapsulated loneliness and the acceptance of praise that resides within, ever so quietly. Parker gives us a complication that grabs hold, even as she stands alone on a bare stage holding only a pen and a pad of paper, tasking us to weigh in.
How scary music makes movies scarier - CBS News
Imagine the 1973 horror movie "The Exorcist" without its ominous score. Would "Psycho" be the same without Bernard Herrmann's music? It's no surprise that a good scare and a good score go hand-in-hand.
DiBucci agreed to reveal to correspondent David Pogue some of the tool composers use to frighten us, like notes that clash, or low, droning notes.

He said that sometimes spooky music works by resembling sounds that trigger our fight-or-flight response ... footsteps coming up from behind you?
"We know that the brain is responding to that by activating those brain areas that are going to be involved in protecting you," Lacagnina said.
Pogues asked, "Something that is high, dissonant and screeching might suggest something in our unconscious that is screaming, and that of course makes us panicky?"
Connecticut is home to 1 of 7 US underwater rugby teams - The Edwardsville Intelligencer
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — When people talk about playing rugby, the first thing a non-rugby player usually thinks is, "OK . lots of bruises, maybe a broken bone or two at some point ." Scrums. Crazy. A crazy sport.
So when Laura Bedoya, a junior political science and Latin American studies major at UConn from East Haven, started to describe how she played underwater rugby . wait, what? Rugby . under water?
"The reaction is always, 'Wait, what?'" Bedoya said, laughing. "I always have a video ready on my phone. I'm always trying to recruit ex-swimmers and they're like, 'No, I'm good, I don't want to do that.'
* * *
So I went to see what underwater rugby is all about Thursday night at the Connecticut Makos' practice at the Wilbur Cross High school pool in New Haven. Laura's father Jose, who played the sport in Colombia, where he grew up, started the team about 18 years ago when he and his wife Eliana came to the United States and settled in East Haven.

Sound Bites: Shows to see in Greenville this weekend - GREENVILLE JOURNAL
Where: Eighth State Brewing Company, 400 Augusta St., Greenville
When: Friday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m.
Tickets: Free
Columbia's Glass Mansions, a duo of Jayna Doyle and Blake Arambula, play catchy, jagged-edged electronic-rock music; their 2018 EP “Ritual” is one of the best examples of merging rock aggression with dance-music propulsion that you’re likely to find. Their show at Eighth State Brewing on Friday has them sharing the stage with the eclectic jazz-pop-soul duo Megan Jean & The KFB and the dark-toned keyboard-and-drums duo Bombay Gasoline. Those are three very different bands to see in one night on one stage, a mix of styles that both Doyle and Arambula are excited about being a part of.
"I like playing mixed-genre shows because you get to play with people you might not normally play with," Doyle says. "It gives the audience a bigger taste of the scene, and people can expand their musical tastes a little bit." And, Arambula adds, that expansion of musical tastes can apply to the musicians as well as the audience. "I can see pieces of what the other acts on the bill do in our music, too," he says. "So I feel like in a way, even though it's called a 'mixed-genre' bill, you'll see similar themes popping up in our music that you might have heard in some the other acts."
The Gravity of Sound: The Bubble's new studio stands as Mark Genfan's swan song - Music - The
Recording studios represent more than finely tuned rooms filled with expensive microphones, racks of compressors, and consoles. They're incubators of dreams, places of eternal possibilities, where destinies become reality. The power and potential these facilities hold exists both in their dimensional details and the characters inside – often both.
Inhabiting that same studio universe are analytical-minded masters whose deeply detailed skills bring brilliance to spaces such as the Bubble. Case in point: Mark Genfan, a preeminent acoustician, whose designs shape the local landscape of pro audio. Workman's hands, technical mind, ears of gold, Genfan's rare trait combination remains that rare triple threat of sonic dexterity. Consider both men gurus in their intersecting crafts.

The guitarist thinks back to when he and fellow axe grinder Smith first resolved to move their studio operation from a side building into an adjacent house at Red River and 45th Street.
