Singer-songwriter Larry White has long been recognized as one of the top talents in the music business––arranging, conducting, and performing for film, TV, Broadway, and the recording industry. With a number of awards under his belt, Larry came to a point where he longed to teach aspiring musicians the best path to success. Now Larry and his wife, Margaret, are upping the ante on giving back by sponsoring Starts Align Protégé’s on July 15th. Proceeds from the event will provide scholarships to members of ARTS (A Reason to Survive), a National City-based organization which believes in the power of the arts and creativity to literally transform lives – especially those of kids.

Singer-songwriter Larry White on Giving Back Larry White has long been recognized as one of the top talents in the music business––arranging, conducting, and performing for film, TV, Broadway, and the recording industry. Working along with people such as Johnny Mathis, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, Nancy Wilson, and Engelbert Humperdink,Celine Dion and many more, Larry witnessed that previous generations of musicians set the goal to be as good as you could be at your craft.

“I’ve been so fortunate to work with the best in the business, and because I’ve been so privileged to work with many wonderful people, I wanted to give back and share what I learned, ” he explains.

One of the biggest life lessons Larry White likes to invoke upon his students is that: “Stardom is not the goal. The goal is to be the best you can be at what you do and the rest will come.” This is what he has been instilling in his students for a decade, many who have gone onto perform on The Voice and American Idol. Ironically, the shared benefit of teaching is that the teacher often learns as well.

Many of his students opened his world to the music of Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, One Direction, Bruno Mars, and others. He now infuses his own style, which he describes as jazz fusion, into many of their songs during performances in and around San Diego, including at the Downtown and La Jolla venues for Eddie V’s.

The Larry White Band also performs original music composed by Larry, with lyrics written by his wife, Margaret. Larry confesses that he learns something new every time he sits down at the piano––even after decades of success in the music industry. That’s what he wishes to instill in every one of his students. The practice is what counts the most.

In addition to being a mentor to his private students, Larry is giving back at an event sponsored by he and his wife Margaret––Starts Align Protégé’s on July 15th. Proceeds from the event will provide scholarships to members of ARTS (A Reason to Survive), a National City-based organization which believes in the power of the arts and creativity to literally transform lives – especially those of kids. And once the event is over, Larry expects to be providing personal direction to the young, aspiring musicians who attend the center. Larry also has a long-time association with Jennifer Paterson and California Music Studios, the best music school on the West Coast.

The Stars Align Protégé’s evening begins with an Art Event, showcasing area artists from 4 to 7 p.m. The show is curated and directed by area sculptor and painter Patricia Palenschat. The Peter Marin Quartet will provide the entertainment as well. Then Larry’s protégés take the stage at 7 p.m. The event will be held at the Garfield Theater at the JCC in La Jolla.

Yeon-Mi Park is a human rights activist and recipient of the 2014 BBC Top 100 Women award. Now, Park speaks out about her experiences and how they inspired her to fight for human dignity across the globe.

June 18, 2015 /MM-prReach/ —

As a child growing up in North Korea, Yeon-Mi Park did not realize that what she witnessed every day were violations of human rights. Even after her family defected to China, she continued to see human rights tragedies such as the assault of her own mother by the man who helped them escape. Because of her experiences, Park did not realize until she was able to go to South Korea, America and Europe that everyone did not live this way. “I heard a few years ago, that all humans are equal, and that everyone has human rights,” Park said. “And I just couldn’t believe that humans were this generous.”

Today, Park is the recipient of one of Europe’s most prestigious awards, the BBC Top 100 Women for 2014. At only 21, Park is one of the youngest women to be honored with this title. Her story, available on the web at http://www.yeonmi.net/, is one of courage and strength, but she is the first to say that she does not feel that she is doing anything special. “I don’t think it’s a very special thing,” she replied. “As a human being, I cannot forget them. How can I be free here from all the scenes and the things that I went through?”

As the host of her own show, seen at http://caseyandyeonmi.com/, Park has developed a reputation as a strong advocate of the North Korean people and a tireless volunteer working to improve relations between her new home of South Korean and the totalitarian-controlled country. Her hope is that her work will enable and understanding between the people of North Korea and those of South Korea.

Currently a political science student at Dongguk University in Seoul, Park continues to fight for the rights of people around the globe. For more information, see http://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-29809557.

About Yeon-Mi Park: Born in Hyesan, North Korea, Yeon-Mi Park is currently majoring in criminal justice at Dongguk University in Seoul, South Korea, and has been featured as a guest on the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, BBC2 and SBS Insight as well as being a regular guest on the South Korean television show Now On My Way To Meet You, a program that addresses the gap between North and South Koreans. Park is also a Media Fellow at Freedom Factory Co. Ltd. and co-host of the podcast Casey Lartigue and Yeon-Mi Park Show. She is a volunteer with Now, Action, Unity and Human Rights (NAUH) as well as the Ambassador of Teach North Korean Refugees.

Jacksonville, FL cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael McClure is helping teen and adult patients improve their smile and feel confident with their appearance in the process with Invsalign invisible braces. Unlike conventional braces that can make patients feel self-conscious of their smile, Invisalign offers the same aligning capabilities without the bulkiness and appearance of brackets and wires.

Jacksonville, FL cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael McClure is helping teen and adult patients improve their smile and feel confident with their appearance in the process with Invsalign invisible braces.

Unlike conventional braces that can make patients feel self-conscious of their smile, Invisalign offers the same aligning capabilities without the bulkiness and appearance of brackets and wires. Invisalign is designed to straighten teeth with mild to moderate misalignment, gapping, or crowding. Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign trays are custom fitted to the patient’s teeth and are made from soft, clear plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. Additionally, the clear aligners are completely removable, offering patients more lifestyle flexibility during the course of treatment.

Michael McClure, Invisalign and general dentist in Jacksonville, FL. Invisalign utilizes some of the latest 3D imaging technology to create a series of clear plastic aligners that they wear throughout the course of their treatment, switching them approximately every two weeks. The aligners gradually align the teeth using different forces than conventional braces, which results in less pain and discomfort for patients.

The clear plastic aligners should be worn 22 hours per day for best results, and are removed while eating or drinking anything other than water. Additionally, patients have the option of removing the aligners for special occasions such as important meetings, interviews, photographs, presentations, and reunions. The removable aligners also help promote oral health during orthodontic treatment, as they allow patients to brush and floss properly with less time requirements to do so as compared to conventional braces.

For patients who need more comprehensive treatment than just Invisalign, Dr. Michael McClure is a board certified general dentist in Jacksonville, FL who also provides cosmetic treatments such as dental implants, veneers, Lumineers, crowns, bridges, and more.

Dr. Michael McClure has more than 15 years of experience and has been practicing in the Jacksonville area since 2005. He is one of a small percentage of dentists in the U.S. who has been awarded a Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Michael McClure, cosmetic dentist in Jacksonville, FL is helping adult patients who suffer with permanent tooth loss finally find a permanent solution for functional, beautiful smiles other than removable dentures.

June 18, 2015 /MM-prReach/ —

Dr. Michael McClure, cosmetic dentist in Jacksonville, FL is helping adult patients who suffer with permanent tooth loss finally find a permanent solution for functional, beautiful smiles other than removable dentures. More than 30 million adults in America rely on some form of denture or partial denture every day. And while these prosthetics may help to restore the aesthetics of their smile, these denture patients are often left struggling with ill-fitted devices that cannot fully restore chewing and speaking function to their mouth. With dental implants, however, Dr. Michael McClure is able to provide patients at Jacksonville Center for Restorative Dentistry with a permanent smile that can last a lifetime.

With dental implants, patients no longer have to hassle with adhesive strips or pastes required with removable dentures, or the struggle that can come with eating and speaking using partial dentures. Dental implants are designed to restore full function to the patient’s smile, and can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or in the instance of denture wearers, entire top and bottom arches of missing teeth. When placed correctly, dental implants can even withstand more chewing force and are more durable than the patient’s natural teeth.

The dental implant itself is a small metal screw that is inserted into the jawbone through a small incision in the gum. This implant is given 3-6 months to entirely heal and naturally fuse with the surrounding bone and tissue. Once the healing process is completed, Dr. McClure attaches a porcelain crown to the implant that has been specifically designed for the patient with the size, shape, and shade that they prefer. Together as a unit, the dental implant and artificial crown mimic the structure of a natural tooth root and crown. Once completed, the new dental implant looks nearly identical to a natural tooth.

Besides restoring full function and aesthetics, dental implants also help preserve the patient’s jawbone that otherwise would continue to resorb without any tooth root structure present. Similar to a muscle that atrophies without use, the jaw bone and gum tissues and ligaments shrink after permanent tooth loss, which can cause other surrounding teeth to fall out as well. Dental implants help preserve the integrity of the patient’s bone and gums for life.

In addition to dental implants, Dr. Michael McClure provides patients with a variety of other general and cosmetic dental services to help them achieve their best smiles. Dr. McClure is a preferred Invisalign dentist in Jacksonville, FL and has helped hundreds of patients achieve straighter smiles without braces. He is also an experienced Jacksonville, FL sedation dentist to help patients have a comfortable, enjoyable dental visit.
