The Carnival of the Animals Carnival
On Jan. 8, 2011 at the University of Miami's Gusman Hall, Orchestra Miami presented a fun-filled afternoon of music and more, for the benefit of the Humane Society of Greater Miami's Adopt-A-Pet. Children were treated to the zany antics of the Fantasy Theatre Factory, along with the orchestra's performance of Respighi's The Birds and Camille Saint Säens' Carnival of the Animals, featuring piano soloists Leila Torres and Jose Ignacio Diaz Gravier. We are proud that two beautiful puppies found a loving home as a result of this event! This concert was supported by a grant from the City of Coral Gables and with the support of Whole Foods.
The following week, Orchestra Miami performed the Carnival of the Animals for close to 10,000 Miami Dade County Public Schools' 2nd grade students, as a part of the Miami Dade County Public School's Cultural Passport Program.
Andrea Bocelli
March Madness - Mozart Under the Moonlight!
Orchestra Miami's gift to the community- two unforgettable free concerts in two of Miami's most beautiful locations- the Village of Pinecrest's newly renovated Banyan Bowl and Collins Park (directly in front of the Bass Museum) in Miami Beach. The program featured soprano Susana Diaz in Samuel Barber's beautiful Knoxville: Summer of 1915. Director Elaine Rinaldi and the orchestra also performed the Mozart Symphony No. 29 (in A, K. 201) and the same composer's universally popular Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade in G, K. 525). With perfect weather and a super moon, this was ideal music for a night out, music that sounds good al fresco. These programs were generously sponsored by Talent Recruiters, Inc., Williamson Automotive and International Finance Bank, as well as with support from the City of Miami Beach, Cultural Affairs Program, Cultural Arts Council.

Interim Gastric Band Results Show Remission of DiabetesPosted: Tuesday, June 05, 2012
The remission rates of type 2 diabetes after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding are influenced by the duration of disease, according to interim results from the APEX study....
Ted Okerson, MD, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California at Irvine, and an employee of Allergan, which makes the gastric band used in the study stated that, "We know that if we intervene early, when there are still functional beta cells, we can expect more chance for remission." APEX is a 5-year ongoing study of 508 severely or morbidly obese patients from 50 centers in the United States who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding using the company's LAP-BAND AP system.
Previously published 48-week interim results for 323 subjects showed a mean percentage of excess weight loss of 46% and a reduction in body mass index (BMI) of 8.4 kg/m˛ (Surg Obes Relat Dis. Published online September 19, 2011).
Excess weight is defined as the amount of weight over a BMI of 25 kg/m˛, explained Dr. Okerson.
A new interim subanalysis of 66 study subjects who enrolled in APEX with preexisting type 2 diabetes has shown that diabetic remission is common in this subgroup, but it is influenced by the duration of disease.
Two years after surgery, almost half of the diabetic subjects (48.5%) showed complete remission of their diabetes, "defined as elimination of all medications for type 2 diabetes," reported Dr. Okerson.
Another 47% of subjects showed improvement in their diabetes, defined as "a reduction in medication and/or an improvement in overall glycemic control."
Disease duration was significantly different between the remission and improved groups, he said.
"When we look at the duration of diabetes in the remission group, it averaged about 4.0 years, whereas those who had improvement averaged a mean of 6.7 years; this difference was statistically significant (P = .03). The 2 patients who had no change had a mean duration of 8.5 years."
In the overall study population, weight loss was substantial for all patients, but it was most pronounced in patients who reported diabetic remission. Although baseline BMI was similar in patients regardless of remission, improvement, or no change in diabetes (43.7, 44.4, and 41.0 kg/m˛, respectively), the reduction in BMI at 2 years was slightly greater in the remission group (10.1 kg/m˛) than in the improved and no change groups (8.4 and 8.0 kg/m˛). Similarly, the percent reduction in weight was a little more in the remission group (22.8%) than in the improved (18.5%) and no change groups (18.7%).
However, it was only the percent of excess weight loss that was statistically different between the remission and the improved groups (55.7% vs 42.9%).
The findings underscore the fact that the advantages of bariatric surgery go beyond weight loss alone, said Bill Law, MD, moderator of the session and a physician at Endocrinology Consultants of East Tennessee in Knoxville.
"All of us have a number of former patients who no longer need us because they had their bariatric surgery and are now a mere shadow of their former selves -- their medication list has shrunk (they're on vitamins), their blood pressure is normal, their cholesterol is normal," he said in an interview with Medscape Medical News.
Dr. Law noted that, "Many of us now consider bariatric surgery, in whatever form, to be mainstream therapy for the long-term management of diabetes for the very simple reason that we don't have other effective therapies that result in the magnitude of weight reduction that is sadly necessary in many of our patients."

For the fifth year running, Stamford Bridge became the centre of attention for the football business world this week as our stadium's conference facilities hosted Leaders in Football.
Much of the football news over the past two days, the international fixtures apart, emanated from the West Stand at the Bridge as players, managers, referees, club owners, administrators and broadcasters took to the stage in a wide range of debates.
The football celebrity count was high with World-Cup winning striker Ronaldo there to talk about the next World Cup in his homeland of Brazil and former Chelsea managers Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli were also present. The World Cup itself and the European Championship trophy were on display too. Angel Maria Villar Llona, president of the Spanish Football Federation, was one the speakers, discussing their methods.
Michael Owen's thoughts on diving received much press coverage but in the final session of the whole conference, featuring former England goalkeeper David James, current Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio and Red Bull Salzburg sporting director Ralf Rangnick, it was the penalty taking of Frank Lampard that came under the spotlight.
The debate was on the drivers of behaviour for managers and players and the use of sports psychologists was raised. With a former England international on stage and Rangnick, a German, also present it was asked whether England might have more success in penalty shoot-outs compared with Germany if psychologists are involved more.
'That is just practice on the training field,' insisted James (pictured below centre).
'England's regular scorers from penalties are the ones that regularly practice during England meet-ups,' he added.
'The likes of Frank Lampard will practice every day taking penalties, repeating the behaviour. The ones who generally miss are the ones who practice just the day before and then when asked will you take a penalty, they say okay, I'll step up and do it.
'If you are in a tournament, especially the World Cup or the Euros, why not practice every day?
'With penalty shoot-outs you can practice them to get comfortable in scoring penalties. People say you can't simulate real-life situations in a penalty shoot-out, you can't simulate the pressure. Well if that was the case we wouldn't need to train at all because you can't simulate a match on a Saturday in training - so it is all about practice.'
Glenn Hoddle, when England manager, was famously quoted as doubting the benefit in practicing for a penalty shoot-out and Di Canio (pictured below left) has more sympathy with that view than James does.
'When you practice there are no fans behind the goal, there is no long walk from the middle of the field to the ball with the goal becoming very small and a small goalkeeper becoming a giant,' said the Italian, who 12 years ago tussled with Lampard over who should take a penalty when both were at West Ham.
'I believe everything you practice you improve the technique but in this moment it is all different because the legs and the ball can become heavy,' Di Canio said.
'Of course you have to practice because if you never practice you don't know how you have to take the penalty, but in the Frank Lampard situation, you can see Frank is very good with composure, he doesn't feel the pressure.'
'Lampard gets himself in a situation where he knows he can do it because he does it all the time in training,' insisted James. 'This is what I try to teach young players - if you practice something you get bored with it, you don't get the highs and lows, you just say I can do this - I can score or I can save the shot.'
'I don't agree completely because it is partly because of your character, but obviously you can improve,' argued Di Canio.
'It is not that Frank scores every penalty but you have a guy who is confident he is going to score,' continued James. 'If England had seven players who were confident they were going to score in a shoot-out, we might actually win one.'
Rangnick, who had suggested managers should ask players why they shoot low with penalties when the analysis shows those aimed higher than 1.45m are generally converted, made an observation to conclude this part of the debate:
'Chelsea won on penalties against Bayern Munich,' he said, 'so not all the English teams can't shoot penalties.'

Goldeneye, several sparrows help increase year list
Sometimes, persistence — with some help from sharp-eyed friends — pays off.
I observed Bird No. 65 (a female Common Goldeneye) on the Watauga River Monday, Feb. 4, thanks to a phone call from Jean and Brookie Potter.
I went directly to the location where they had found the duck. At first, I saw only a single male Bufflehead, but then I noticed a darker duck and focused my binoculars on a nicely marked Common Goldeneye hen. This duck is the same one that has been lurking along the Watauga River for a couple of weeks and had, until that day, proven quite elusive.
The Common Goldeneye's scientific name is Bucephala clangula, placing it in the genus Bucephala. Only two other ducks — Barrow's Goldeneye and Bufflehead — are members of this genus of small, diving ducks.
The Goldeneyes and Bufflehead are cavity-nesting birds, a trait they have in common with such ducks as Hooded Merganser and Wood Duck.
The Goldeneyes are named for their distinct yellow iris. At close range, their yellow eyes are easily detected with binoculars.
Common Goldeneyes nest across the forested areas of Canada, as well as Minnesota, Michigan, Alaska and the northeastern United States. This duck is most abundant among lakes of the Canadian boreal forests.
I usually manage to enjoy some birding during daily lunch break strolls. Such was the case recently when I managed to gradually increase my five-county bird list for 2013.
On Tuesday, Feb. 5, my lunch break walk took place on the linear trail along the Watauga River in Elizabethton. I picked up two new birds for my 2013 list.
Bird No. 66 was a Sharp-shinned Hawk that made only a brief appearance before flying behind the Recycling Center.
Bird No. 67 was a Yellow-rumped Warbler with a mixed flock of Carolina Chickadees and Tufted Titmice. I'm a little surprised its taken me so long to find my first Yellow-rumped Warbler of the year. The Yellow-rumped Warbler is typically the only member of the warbler family to spend the winter in the region. On occasion, Palm Warblers and Pine Warblers may also try to endure the region's winter season.
During my lunch break stroll Wednesday, Feb. 6, I added two more bird species to my 2013 list for Northeast Tennessee.
Bird No. 68 was a Swamp Sparrow. I actually found two Swamp Sparrows in a large, weedy field within the borders of Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park. Bird No. 69, staying with the sparrow theme, was a Fox Sparrow.
Over the years, fellow birders and I have named this location, with good reason, the "sparrow field."
The field is located beyond the woods adjacent to the Franklin Fitness Center near Sycamore Shoals Hospital. Other sparrows present during my stroll included numerous White-throated Sparrows and several Song Sparrows.
In the past, I have located other sparrows — Field, Chipping, Grasshopper and Savannah — in this field.
The Fox Sparrow had been my target bird. I knew from previous reports that other birders had observed a Fox Sparrow in this location. The presence of the Swamp Sparrows was a nice bonus.
After those sparrows, it took me another week to find a new bird. I stayed with the sparrow theme, finding Bird No. 70 — a Chipping Sparrow — during a visit on my Feb. 13 lunch break to Rasar Farm on the Watauga River in Elizabethton.
The Chipping Sparrow was traveling through the woods along the river with a mixed flock that also included Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Yellow-rumped Warblers and a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
The birds are getting restless, as they are apt to do during the transitional month of February. I am hearing from some readers about their first sightings of American Robins.
I heard from Betty Kirby in Hampton, who reported that she saw a flock of 14 American Robins on a recent Sunday. The day before this sighting, she saw a single American Robin in her yard.
Amy Tipton shared some photos of Purple Finches that have been visiting feeders in the yard at the home where she lives with her husband, Paul, in Erwin.
Purple Finches have been a little more prevalent this winter, which means more people are seeing them.
"You definitely don't see them too often," Amy remarked in her email.
"I have been using safflower seed in one of my three feeders, and they seem to really like it," she added.
Amy buys her safflower seed at Tractor Supply in Elizabethton.
"The safflower seed has a bitter taste that seems to deter the squirrels and attracts cardinals, finches, nuthatches and grosbeaks," Amy said. "I have had an abundance of cardinals since I started using it and have been noticing the Purple Finches for about a week. I hope they stick around for awhile."
Purple Finches have been regular visitors at my feeders at home on Simerly Creek Road in Hampton since December of last year. They don't visit every day, but varying numbers do seem to visit at least every couple of days. My mother and I have noticed a maximum of at least three pairs of Purple Finches.
Jean and Brookie Potter have also been hosting Purple Finches this winter. The Potters live near Wilbur Lake in Elizabethton.
Purple Finches are definitely one of the birds likely to show up during this weekend's Great Backyard Bird Count.
After 15 years of success in North America, the Great Backyard Bird Count will open up to the entire world for the first time in 2013. The count kicked off Friday and continues today and tomorrow. If you didn't manage to look for birds Friday and Saturday, you still have time to participate. Anyone, from anywhere on earth, can participate by visiting www.birdcount.org and reporting the kinds and numbers of birds they see during the 16th annual GBBC. Count locations can be your own backyard or your favorite park.
Call me at 297-9077 or 542-4151 to share an observation, make a comment or ask a question. Readers can also send email to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. I'm also on Facebook.

A local man is recovering in the hospital after he jumped in to help in another violent purse snatching.
"I was thinking about death. I was shocked, I didn't know what to do," said the young woman who was the robbery victim.
She her boyfriend, Derrick Moye, shown in a Facebook photo, had just stepped out the front door of his house on West Lehigh Avenue when suddenly a man appeared, grabbed her purse and took off. Moye immediately gave chase.
"He just grabbed it and took my money out and dropped my bag," the robbery victim told FOX 29 News as she described how Moye tried to come to her rescue.
Police say Moye got to the corner of 27th and Lehigh when a second man appeared with a gun and shot Moye one time in the chest, then took off.
"He shot him. Jumped out of nowhere. Yes," she said.
The young woman, who asked not to be identified, called police. Thirty minutes later, patrol officers from 22nd District stopped two men matching the descriptions of the robbers. They are now being called suspects.
"People want to fight back. They don't want to see these thugs get away with things like this and they fight back," said police Lt. George McClay, as he praised the actions of Moye and the quick arrest by patrol officers.
"He came to my rescue. I'm real grateful for that," the young woman said.
This was the third violent purse snatching incident in recent weeks. A suspect in Southwest Philadelphia has been robbing women at knifepoint. Two men were caught on tape 10 days ago as they robbed a purse from a mother and daughter in Northern Liberties.
The gunmen fired one shot, killing 26-year-old Amber Long during that purse-snatching incident. Police are now looking for links to Thursday's shooting.
"On the surface, they look very similar," McClay said."Could we get lucky? I hope so. That was a terrible crime. I'm hoping we can correlate the crimes together, but we're nowhere close to that yet."
Police say women should not resist if they are approached in a robbery situation.
"Don't fight. Give up the money you do have, but you can understand why they want to fight back," McClay added.
Police say they did recover items from the homes of the suspects that could be linked to this crime and others. They have not yet charged the suspects and would not identify them until they do.

WHO provides primary status to the Pan African Clinical Trials Registry in Africa
25 September 2009 | The Hague/ Cape Town - The Pan-African Clinical Trials Registry (PACTR) has been accepted as a primary clinical trials registry – the first World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed trials registry in Africa. This registry will feed data into the global WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) search portal facilitating African representation in the global picture of planned, ongoing and completed clinical trials. The Registry is currently funded by the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) and coordinated by the South African Cochrane Centre (SACC) at the Medical Research Council (MRC).
"We are delighted to be able to offer access to a WHO primary register to all trialists in Africa. We hope the PACTR will become the first choice for African trial registration," says Nandi Siegfried, co-director at the SACC.
In September 2004, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) stated that all 11 member journals would adopt a registration policy to promote comprehensive trials registration as a solution to the problem of selective awareness (http://www.icmje.org/clintrial.pdf). Thus clinical trials must be publicly registered before the first participants are enrolled if the intention is to publish findings in member medical journals which include leading journals such as The Lancet, JAMA and NEJM.
Professor Charles Mgone, EDCTP Executive Director, explained that since June 2009the African registry has expanded from a disease-specific registry to cater for clinical trials on all diseases transitioning to the PACTR. Researchers conducting clinical trials in Africa who use PACTR as their registry of choice will meet international requirements for research transparency.
Davina Ghersi, head of WHO's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), says the approval of PACTR as a primary trials registry is a significant milestone in the quest for transparency. "Our hope is that the PACTR will make it easier to capture information about trials involving people in the region. We look forward to filling the gap in our knowledge about clinical trials in Africa."
Since registries "provide an essential tool to assess completeness of the information about all initiated trials" and are the "necessary first step to enable identification of all trials" and the "tracking of their results" (Moja et.al., http://www.trialsjournal.com/content/10/1/56), having an African based registry will benefit both Africa and the world as PACTR will actively encourage trial registration.
"Registering a clinical trial greatly increases exposure of the trial and assists researchers in determining gaps in research, thus reducing the likelihood of duplication of research and wasted funding and man-power," says Professor Charles Mgone.
Dr Siegfried further says that it is the intention for PACTR to become the single reference point for clinical trials activities in Africa. 'The registry will feed directly into the global WHO International Clinical Trials Search Portal, thus ensuring African representation in this global search engine'.
Additionally, the PACTR's database will include regularly downloaded information from the South African National Clinical Trials Registry (SANCTR) and will continue to build information sharing networks with national or other localized registries.
Background information:
In response to the need to increase transparency and facilitate registration by African researchers, the HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (ATM) Clinical Trials Registry was first established in 2007.
African trialists face additional challenges in trial registration, such as limited, unreliable and costly access to the internet. Quite often, African collaborators in multi-country clinical trials need to request their partners on other continents to register the trial for them. Because of these obstacles, there is serious underreporting of clinical trials that are conducted on the African continent.
The PACTR seeks to provide feasible ways of overcoming these. It is a registry which is developed by Africans for Africans. Trials may be registered online (via the internet if access is sufficiently reliable) but they may also be registered by email, postal mail or facsimile. Registration is free, and information on registered trials is free of charge and easy to access through the registry's search function.

Ocean Voyage is now openPost Date:6/15/2012
Office: (305) 328-8811
Cell (305) 793-9813
MIAMI, FL (JUNE 4, 2012) Zoo Miami is excited to announce the opening of its new Playworld Playground that contains two play areas, Jungle Journey and Ocean Voyage. With over 1.5 acres of play and picnic space, kids ages 12 and under have plenty of room to explore the splashing water features and jungle gym while parents supervise in comfortable shaded seating.
In the Jungle Journey playground, children have 11 play features to help them create their own adventures. While the jungle gym could keep them busy for a while, kids can find themselves making their way past a wobbly bridge, through a hollow log and escaping life-size gorilla and hippo figures. Their imaginations may take them on a wild journey, but kids remain safe on spongy floors as they bounce around the playground.
After their jungle adventure, kids can cool down by splashing through spouting blow holes and overflowing buckets of water in the Ocean Voyage playground. This water-themed area includes 28 features that are guaranteed to get kids dripping wet. It would be hard to stay dry around water shooting cannons, a whale tail waterfall, and touch-activated rods spraying water. The ocean theme comes to life with shells and glossy starfish on the floor as guests walk in.
This $1 million state-of-the-art playground has been a highly-anticipated addition to Zoo Miami, said Eric Stephens, Zoo Miami Director. We are so excited to open it and offer our guests a top-notch play experience.
Directly next to the playgrounds are two new shaded pavilions that are available to rent for special events like birthday parties or picnics.
With parents and kids sure to work up an appetite, the Playworld Playground is conveniently located next to the new and improved Oasis Grille. There guests can chow down on everything including hot-dogs, salads, fruit, burgers and refreshing drinks in the shade of the African-outpost themed area before heading to their next adventure in Zoo Miami.
Speaking of adventures, now guests can rent pedal boats, water tricycles and kayaks on the lake at Amazon and Beyond on weekends (Friday-Sunday) and holidays from 10 am to 5 pm.
Zoo Miami is located at 12400 SW 152 street; Miami, FL 33177. General Zoo Admission is: $15.95 per Adult and $11.95 per Child (3-12), plus tax. Children under two, Zoo members and parking are free. Zoo Miamis hours are 9:30 am 5:30 pm; ticket booths close at 4 pm. For more information please visit www.zoomiami.org or call (305) 251-0400.
The Zoological Society of Florida is a non-profit 501(c)(3) that supports Zoo Miami through education, conservation and outreach programs; marketing and public relations; volunteer services and financial support for the construction of new exhibits.

Visa information
From 1st October 2013, it will be possible to study English in the UK with a Visitor Visa (VV) or a Business Visitor Visa (BVV) provided that your course lasts no longer than 6 weeks (30 days). You must study at an accredited institution (The London School of English meets this requirement). For more information, please visit the UKBA website.
The London School of English is accepted as a Highly Trusted Sponsor (HTS) for Tier 4 of the UK government's Points Based System.
It has also successfully completed an Educational Oversight inspection conducted by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and was rated as 'exceeds expectations' in all sections (click here to read the ISI report).
Do you need a visa?
This note is designed to give an overview of the UK visa system in general, and to explain recent changes. The regulations can change quickly, so we cannot guarantee that the information shown here will always be completely up to date. It is therefore intended for guidance only. You may like to check with your local Embassy or Consulate to see if there have been any changes.
This note is concerned only with adults, as we do not have any courses for children.
|If you are a citizen of a country in the European Union or the European Economic Area, or of Switzerland, you do not need a visa to enter the UK. If you are from one of these countries none of this note applies to you and you can stop reading now.
|If you come from anywhere else you will need a visa. There are two sorts of visa you can use for study: A General Student Visa and a Student Visitor Visa. The rules which apply to them are different. When you book a course you will need to tell us which one you want, so you need to understand the differences. These notes will help you to understand the system and decide what to do.
|From 1st October 2013, it will be possible to study English in the UK with a Visitor Visa (VV) or a Business Visitor Visa (BVV) provided that your course lasts no longer than 6 weeks (30 days). You must study at an accredited institution (The London School of English meets this requirement). If you want to study for longer than 6 weeks you will still need a Student Visitor Visa (SVV). Note that it is possible to have more than one type of visa at the same time so if you already have a VV or BVV you can apply for a Student Visitor Visa (SVV) as well. This is useful if you have a multi-entry VV or BVV that is valid for many years. If you get a SVV as well as a VV or BVV you will need to make it clear when you arrive which visa you are entering the country with, so that the immigration officer stamps the right visa.
|Note that you cannot hold a second visa if you have a Tier 4 General Student Visa (GSV). If you apply for a Tier 4 visa, any visitor visa (SVV, BVV) will become invalid.
How this page is organised
Overview: the process of applying for a visa
1. Decide if you are a Visa National or a Non-visa National (see Section A)
2. Decide which type of visa you want (see Section B):
3. Make your application for your course, telling us which type of visa you want (see Section C)
4. Use the documents we send you to apply for your visa (see Section C)
A: Geography: different visa status for different nationalities
For visa purposes, the world is divided into 3 areas:
A 1. EU/EEA/Switzerland
If you are a citizen of one of these countries you can come and go as you please. You can ignore all these notes about visas. This is true even if you also hold a non-European passport. For example if you are Brazilian but also have an Italian passport, you can use your Italian passport to enter the UK without visa formalities.
Please click here to view a list of these countries.
A 2. Visa nationals (VN)
If you are a VN you need a visa to enter the UK for any reason, and must get it before you leave home (this is called 'pre-entry clearance').
Please click here to view a list of VN countries.
A 3. Non-visa nationals (NVN)
If you are a NVN you need a visa, but can get a 6 month Student Visitor Visa on arrival. See B1, below, for more about this. If you want a General Student Visa, or an Extended Student Visitor Visa, you must get it before you leave home.
Please click here to view a list of NVN countries.
B: The different types of visa
There are three main types of visa which concern us:
See also:
B 1. Student Visitor Visa (SVV)
A SVV is a type of visitor visa – it is not part of the Points Based System. It is not what people usually mean when they talk about a 'student visa' but in fact it is the visa used by most people who study in the UK for less than 6 months.
|A SVV has no level requirement, cannot be extended, and cannot last longer than 6 months (for courses longer than 6 months you can apply for an Extended Student Visitor Visa - ESVV - see 1.5 below). Visa nationals must get it before they leave home for a fee of £80. Non-visa nationals can get it free on arrival.
|- No restriction on level
- No restriction on where you study
- The standard 6 month SVV is free on arrival for non-visa nationals, although if you want an Extended Student Visitor Visa, valid for 11 months, you must get that before you leave home.
|- It lasts a maximum 6 months (or 11 months, for an Extended Student Visitor Visa)
- It cannot be extended
- For visa nationals, applications must be examined and passed by a visa officer (for an extended Student Visitor Visa all applications must be assessed by a visa officer)
1.1 What is a SVV?
A SVV is not a sort of student visa - it is a sort of visitor's visa. A SVV lasts a maximum of 6 months (although an Extended Student Visitor Visa lasts 11 months), and cannot be renewed.
1.2 Getting a SVV
If you are a visa national you will need to get your SVV before you leave your country. See 1.3.
If you are a non-visa national you can get a 6 month SVV free when you arrive in the UK. You will just have to produce your acceptance certificate from us. This usually works fine. If you want an Extended Student Visitor Visa, valid for 11 months, you must get this before you leave home, even if you are a non-visa national.
1.3 Applying in your own country
If you are a visa national you must always apply for your SVV before you leave home. You must have a visa support letter from us and show that you have enough money to pay your course and live on. You will have to do biometrics and pay the appropriate fee (£80 as at April 2013). You will probably have to prove that you have a good reason for learning English and persuade the Entry Clearance Officer that you will return home after the course. In some cases, depending on your nationality, you may find this difficult.
If you are a non-visa national you do not need to apply for an ordinary SVV before you come to the UK. You can just get it free on arrival (see 1.4 below). If you want to be 100% certain you can get it in advance in your own country but in this case you will need to provide biometrics and will need to pay for it (although it's cheaper than a GSV).
If you are using an agent in your own country they will help you with the visa application. If you are applying personally, you can find the form you need by clicking here.
1.4 Getting a SVV on arrival
This is only possible if you are a non-visa national. You must:
- book a course before you come to the UK
- bring your course acceptance papers, including a SVV support letter, to show at immigration when you arrive
- ask for a Student Visitor Visa at immigration.
This only applies to the standard (6 month) SVV. If you want an Extended Student Visitor Visa, valid for 11 months, you must get this before you leave home.
If you are a visa national you must get your visa before you leave home, whatever sort of visa you have.
1.5 What is an Extended SVV (ESVV)?
An ESVV is very similar to a SVV but it has some important differences. A normal SVV lasts for 6 months. An ESVV lasts for 11 months. To get an ESVV it is necessary to prove that your course will last for more than 6 months. You cannot convert a SVV to an ESVV, and you cannot apply for an ESVV in the UK or when you arrive. An ESVV must always be obtained in your own country and costs £144. An ESVV is only valid for studying English. You can change school and course with an ESVV, but you cannot stop studying English and start studying something else.
Students from certain countries studying for 6 months or longer must undertake pre-entry tuberculosis (TB) screening before they are granted a visa for the UK. For a list of countries affected, please click here.
1.6 What does an SVV look like?
If you get a SVV before you leave home it will look very like a GSV but will include both the word 'visitor' and the word 'student'. If you get it on arrival it will just be an entry stamp. This is still a visa. The only difference between a SVV and a Visitor Visa (see below) is that 'VST' will be written by hand on the stamp. Please make sure that this happens in your case. The date of validity is based on the date of entry, so it is important to check that carefully. If you are unable to read the date, we suggest that you ask the Immigration Officer to stamp it again. Having an incorrect visa stamp may mean that we are unable to accept you.
1.7 How long does a SVV last?
The standard SVV lasts for 6 months. An Extended Student Visitor Visa lasts for 11 months. (See also D.2)
1.8 Are there any level restrictions
No. A SVV is available for people at any level of English. It is the only study visa available if you are below intermediate level.
1.9 Working
You are not allowed to work if you have a SVV.
B 2. General Student Visa (GSV)
|A GSV is processed as part of the UK Points Based System. People typically choose this if they want to study in the UK for a longer period. It can be extended and can last longer than 6 months, but is not available for students below intermediate level and is only valid for study at the school or college named on it. It must always be obtained in advance and costs £298. It does not include the right to work.
|- Allows you to study for more than 6 months
- Allows you to extend your visa in the UK
|- Only available if you have intermediate level English (*CEFR B1 - about IELTS 4), which must be proved by an official exam accepted by the visa authorities.
- You can only study at the school who accepted you and got you the visa. If you want to change school, you will need a new visa.
- You must always get this type of visa at home before you come to the UK
*For information about CEFR click here.
A visa national may find it difficult to get a GSV for a short course, and may have to apply for a SVV.
2.1 Who should choose a GSV?
This is the right visa for you if you are coming for a longer course (although you can also study for up to 11 months on an extended student visitor visa – see 1.5). It may also be appropriate if you are going to do a short course but plan to study elsewhere afterwards.
2.2 What must I have to get a GSV?
You need three things:
1. Acceptance from a school on the UKBA Sponsor register (we are, of course). This takes the form of a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). A CAS is not a piece of paper – it is a reference number which we will send you, which you must quote on your visa application. See section C for what we need to issue a CAS.
2. Evidence that you have enough money to pay your fees and to live while you are in the UK. For living costs, you must show £1,000 for each month of your studies up to a maximum of 9 months. You can prove you have the money if:
o You have cash in an account in your name (this includes joint accounts with your name). You must have this money in your bank account for 28 days before you apply for your visa, or
o You have a loan in your name, or
o You have official financial or government sponsorship.
3. Proof that you are at a qualifying level of English (see 2.5). You do not normally need to prove that you have a good reason to study (but see 2.3, below).
When you register for a course here we will send you your CAS number, and also a CAS statement. The CAS statement is not an official document – it just summarises what we have put on the CAS so that you can make sure that your application says the same thing. The visa officer may ask to see the CAS statement, but this is not in fact necessary.
Students from certain countries studying for 6 months or longer must undertake pre-entry tuberculosis (TB) screening before they are granted a visa for the UK. For a list of countries affected, please click here.
2.3 Applying for a GSV
You must always get a GSV in advance (this is true for both visa nationals and non-visa nationals). You must provide fingerprints (biometric data) and must therefore attend a visa issuing post in person (the visa issuing process may take place elsewhere).
Please note that even if you have the necessary points for a GSV you may have to do an interview to talk about your visa application. This will usually be done by Skype call when you go to do your biometrics. We will send you some notes about this interview if you register for a course with us and we issue you with a CAS. This process does not apply to all countries.
If you are using an agent in your own country they will help you with the visa application. If you are applying personally, you can find the form you need by clicking here.
2.4 The cost
A GSV costs £298.
If you want to renew your GSV in the UK you must pay a renewal fee of £406 (for postal applications) or £781 (for same-day applications in person).
2.5 Restrictions on who can have one
To get a GSV you must have achieved a CEFR B1 level in all four components of a SELT (Secure English Language Test). Click here for tests which can be used.
Even if you have a SELT, immigration staff may be able to refuse entry to students who cannot speak English without an interpreter.
If your level is too low for a GSV you can start with a Student Visitor Visa (SVV), study for 6 months (standard SVV) or 11 months (extended SVV), and then apply for a GSV. By this time your level should be good enough but you must prove this with a SELT. You must also attend regularly. You will have to go home and apply for a GSV there. You cannot change a SVV to a GSV in the UK. See section B1, above, for more about a SVV.
2.6 What does a GSV look like?
A GSV is a piece of paper stuck into your passport. It will have both the first date of validity and also the end date printed on it. When you enter the country the date of entry will be stamped on it, although this does not affect the dates it is valid. A GSV has the number of the sponsoring school printed on it. It is only valid for study at that school. See D1 below for more about this.
2.7 How long does a GSV last?
A GSV will be granted for the length of the course, plus some time for you to pack up and leave. For a course of less than 6 months this extra period is only 7 days. If you might want to take some holiday while you are in the UK it's important to plan for this when you book. We can then allow for this in your acceptance certificate. For a course of more than 6 months the extra time allowed is 2 months so this is not so important.
2.8 Renewing a GSV
A GSV can be renewed, but only if you have attended regularly. It is the only sort of study visa which can be renewed, so get a GSV if you are booking for less than 6 months but think that you may want to stay for more than 6 months, or if you are doing a course with us but plan to move on to study elsewhere afterwards (or if you are going to study elsewhere, and then move to us). But remember that you will need a new visa to change school - see D1 for more about this.
When you renew a GSV you will have to pay a renewal fee. This is £406 (for postal applications) or £781 (for same-day applications in person) (fees as at April 2013).
2.9 Working
A GSV for an English course does not give the right to work.
B 3. Other types of visa
3.1 Visitor Visa
A visitor's visa allows someone to enter the UK for tourism, visit family etc. A non-visa national can get it on arrival. A visa national needs to get it at home. From 1st October 2013 it will be possible to study with a VV provided that your course lasts no longer than 6 weeks (30 days). You must study at an accredited institution (The London School of English meets this requirement).
Note: If your course lasts more than 6 weeks, you should still get either a SVV, an ESVV or a GSV.
3.2 Business Visa
If you have a Business Visa it will, from 1st October 2013, be possible to study provided that your course lasts no longer than 6 weeks (30 days). You must study at an accredited institution (The London School of English meets this requirement).
3.3 Diplomatic Visa
If you have a Diplomatic Visa you can study without any problems.
C: What you must do when you apply for a course
1. Tell us what sort of visa you want
If you need a visa to enter the UK you will need support from us, so you must tell us what sort of visa you intend to apply for. Unless we know this we do not know what sort of support to send you.
2. Send us a copy of your passport
We need information from it to produce the support that we will send you.
3. For a GSV, pay your tuition fees
If you want a GSV, you must pay all your tuition fees in advance. We cannot issue a CAS until you have done this. If you want a SVV we do not ask for full payment in advance, but you must pay a deposit in line with our normal Terms and Conditions.
4. For a GSV, show how you will prove your level
If you want a GSV, we need to know how you will prove your level of English. This is not necessary for a SVV.
5. For a SVV, send us the information needed for a SVV support letter
If you want a SVV we will need to send you a SVV support letter so we need certain information. To see what we need, please click here.
6. For a GSV, send us the information needed for a CAS
If you want a GSV we will need to issue you a CAS so we need certain information. To see what we need, please click here.
D: Other important details
D 1. The 'single sponsor' rule
This is a very important part of the Point Based System, but an inconvenient one.
To get a General Student Visa you must have what is called a sponsor – an organisation that is responsible for you. If you study with us, we issue a CAS and are your sponsor. You can only have one sponsor – the organisation whose CAS was used to obtain the visa. If you want to do an English course with us and then go to another school, or to a university, you will have to get a new visa when you transfer to the next course. In the same way, if you want to study somewhere else and then come to us, you will need to get a new visa.
The idea of a sponsor, with study limited to the school named on the visa, only applies to a GSV. A SVV does not have these limitations.
D 2. Renewing your visa
If you have a GSV you can renew it in the UK.
As long as your attendance and progress has been satisfactory, we can give you all the documents you need if you are applying to renew your visa in order to continue to study with us.
To renew your GSV you will need to pay a fee. This is £406 (for postal applications) or £781 (for same-day applications in person) (fees as at April 2013).
You cannot renew a SVV although if you are a non-visa national (see A3 above) and you leave the country and re-enter, you may get a new one (this is not supposed to happen, but it often does).
D 3. Procedures when you start your course with us
Please make sure that you bring your passport or ID with you to school on the first day. If you do not need a visa, we must check this. If you do need a visa, we need to check that you have one, and take a copy of it.
Registering at The Overseas Visitors Records Office
If you have a stamp in your passport which tells you to register your arrival in the UK you will need to visit The Overseas Visitors Records Office at Brandon House.
Brandon House is open from 0900 - 1600 Monday to Friday. The telephone number is 020 7230 1208.
The nearest tube station is Borough, which is on the Northern Line. When you come out of the station turn left, cross the road and Brandon House is in front of you.
From Holland Park you should take the Central line to Bank station and then change onto the Northern line to Borough. The underground journey takes about half an hour.
From Westcroft Square you should take the District line to Monument station and then walk to Bank station (this is well signposted and takes about 4 minutes). At Bank station take the Northern line to Borough. The underground journey takes about 40 minutes.
If you are studying on the Intensive General English course or English for University you should visit Brandon House after class on your first Wednesday. If you have classes all day you will need to miss some class time. Please tell your trainer why you won't be able to come to class and they will explain what work you will miss.
The Overseas Visitors Records Office, Brandon House, 180 Borough High Street, London, SE1 1LH

"The Road to Mecca," written by Athol Fugard, directed by Tricia Dickinson and assistant director Gary Hokit and now playing at Magic Circle Theater, is a gorgeous play, a magnificent production not to be missed.
The "Mecca" of the play is not the traditional city of Islam, but rather the self-made dream of an aging artist. It is a place of love, refuge and memories set in 1974 South Africa. The play explores the always- important question of whether or not we should leave our Mecca when we can no longer take care of ourselves. The play has a vast reach, portrayed through the conflict between three strong-willed characters – Miss Helen (Rachel Deans Krute), Elsa (Bethany Ward), and Pastor Marius (Mark Smith) – through whom universally fundamental questions concerning different religions, cultures, genders, and ages are examined.
Rachel Deans Krute stuns as she ignites the soul of an aging reclusive, iconoclastic rebel (Miss Helen) who has created a fantastic holy city of her own. Her "little miracle of light and color" represents a threat to the community's conservative ways and a rejection of its pieties and organized religion. The minister, Marius, has provided papers for Miss Helen to sign, which will consign her to a home for the aged. She is condescendingly told she will be assured "plenty of space for personal possessions and a few of your ornaments." Miss Helen rages against the invasion of inner darkness in an anguished evocation of the heartbreak of aging. Yet she can still summon another, younger side of her personality as when, in a burst of splendid laughter, she turns and says to her friend Elsa, "lets face it, we've both still got a little girl hidden away in us somewhere."
An important theme of the play is the definition of trust, perhaps the play's most crucial word between the two women, who share a relationship rare in the theater and priceless in life. All three characters are remarkably well-rounded and complete. Elsa bears the crushing weight of her own conflict with fierce assurance. Marius is not simply adversarial; with impassive resignation, he loves Miss Helen. There is not a false note in the play, not a single contrived effect. The set is a visual and thought provoking delight, a glimmering dream that is central to illuminating time, place and personal turmoil. This play lays bare some of the most common and important events of life - a magic delight.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct 8, 2012 – James Madison Swimming and Diving head coach Samantha Smith announced the promotion of Dane Pedersen to associate head coach on Monday.
"We are very excited to promote Dane to the position of associate head swim coach at JMU," Smith said. "He has been an integral part of our success over the past five years and has proven to be an invaluable part of the swimming and diving family."
Pedersen is entering his sixth season as an assistant at JMU. The team has improved its finish at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships in each of his seasons with the team, highlighted by the sixth conference title in school history in 2012-13. Prior to his arrival in July of 2007, the team finished ninth at the 2006-07 CAA Championships.
In addition to team success, Pedersen has helped his student-athletes completely rewrite the JMU record book. In five years, every individual swimming record and all five relay events have seen a new school record set at least once with many records falling a handful of times.
Academically, the Dukes have received NCAA APR recognition for performing in the top 10 percent of all Division I programs during Pedersen's time in Harrisonburg.
"I am honored to receive this promotion," Pedersen said. "JMU is an amazing place and has been the perfect environment to learn and grow in my coaching career. I want to thank Mr. Bourne, Mrs. Phillips and all the administration for this acknowledgement. I also want to thank Sam and Becky who I work alongside every day. We have built a special program together, and I have learned so much from both of them. Lastly, I want to thank Sam for this recommendation. I have learned from her leadership, guidance and mentoring. I look forward to the things to come with JMU swimming and diving!"

Customers who bought this also bought:
I bought the Stampler Stapler and Stamper because my stapler at school is always getting 'borrowed'. I share my teaching lab and things tend to grow legs and walk... I thought it would be pretty obvious if this went walkies! So far, it has been a great success. The students love it (aged 11-19) and bring me their work to be stampled. The only issue that I have with it is that the ink sometimes spreads and I am not sure that new ink can be added. But I love it!
Wonderful gadget
I bought this Stampler Stapler and Stamper as a joke but I have been pleasantly surprised, it is well made and great fun. The stamp comes out well and the stapler, well, it staples! All my paperwork now has a smiley face and it makes others smile, so job well done. I will be buying more as gifts.
