  How to follow a low-carb diet for weight loss or diabetes:

   Many have heard of or tried low-carb diets in order to lose weight. Despite having great results, many find it hard to maintain.

In addition to weight control, low-carb eating also works well for people who are pre-diabetic or diabetic, and many find that they can safely resolve their symptoms and reduce or eliminate their medications while improving cholesterol and high blood pressure symptoms. This series of six  presentations will provide a review of the research and lots of practical advice on how do low-carb safely and effectively.

  Pokanokets and Pilgrims: Conflict and Compromise in the 17^th Century

  Osamequin, the Massasoit of the Pokanoket Tribe, met with Pilgrim Governor Carver on March 22, 1621 and struck a treaty of mutual protection. A period of more than fifty years of peaceful relations between them followed and only ended with the King Philip’s War in 1675. Join us for a presentation about the differences between these two cultures and their struggle to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship. In this 90-minute presentation, Dr. David Weed, Coordinator of the Sowams Heritage Area Project, will give an overview of the transition from Native to colonial domination of the land and talk about how the Project is helping to illuminate the 17th century history of eight communities from Providence to Bristol.

  PREPARING FOR THE SAT

  This course focuses on SAT test-taking skills and strategies. Recent studies have revealed that training and familiarization in test-taking techniques can increase scores.

  The course is designed for 11th and 12th graders and consists of eight 2-hour coaching sessions of intensive preparation for the May 2,2020 SAT. This class is co-sponsored by the Barrington Learning Center and Barrington High School.

  FEE: $235.  The fee includes course tuition, the required text and test materials.

  CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND CREATIVE GENIUS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI:

  Does it seem possible that Leonardo da Vinci died 500 hundred years ago? Lovers of art and creative geniuses from all over the world are gathering at galleries and museums remembering this genius, considered by many art historians to be the most brilliant and talented artist of the ages.

  Let’s gather together to learn and review more about this icon of a man. It will be so rewarding to share and explore his fabulous life.

  What do you think of when you think of Leonardo? Is it the painting of the Last Supper or the Mona Lisa? Do you know he started thousands of paintings but only finished a handful in his long career? Why do you suppose that was? We’ll find out together.

  His approach to life, his inquisitive mind helped him to understand animals and humans and how they worked. His studies enabled him to lay out so many scientific theories. He dissected animals to understand structure for his drawings and paintings. His imagination led him to envision all types of war machines, the working of the human body, plus space and all its mysteries.

  By coming together and researching, as a class, we will have the opportunity to explore and learn about Leonardo daVinci's numerous accomplishments.
