In Houston this weekend, several dozen aspiring Americans took some time out of their Saturdays to get free one-on-one help on their citizenship applications.
At an event hosted by Neighborhood Centers Inc., the Office of International Communities with the City of Houston and the National Association of Latino Elected & Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, volunteer attorneys sat down with aspiring Americans to talk about immigration reform this year – and to hold individual citizenship assistance meetings.
The event helped local legal permanent residents gain knowledge about important immigration issues and gave them a huge head start on their citizenship applications for 2014. It’s clear, our Houston partners are off to a great start this year.
If you missed it, there’s another citizenship workshop coming up in Houston real soon.

On May 5, 2014, Amazon unveiled a partnership with Twitter. Twitter users can link their accounts to an Amazon account and automatically add items to their shopping carts by responding to any tweet with an Amazon product link bearing the hashtag #AmazonCart. This allows customers to never leave their Twitter feed and the product is waiting for them when they go to the Amazon website.
Go digital. Even though you’re not shopping online, embracing technology can help you save. “Sign up for email alerts from your favorite retailers and follow them on Facebook and Instagram for exclusive offers,” says Freeman. Last year, for example, Walmart promoted hourly manager specials to their Facebook fans, points out Andrea Woroch, a consumer and money saving expert.
While Amazon was expanding into streaming video, hardware, and cloud computing, it simultaneously maintained an aggressive push into even faster shipping and all new retail formats. The company started its same-day shipping initiative, Prime Now, in New York City in 2014, and it’s since expanded it to dozens of cities around the world. Around the same time, Amazon began a program called AmazonFresh to stock and ship groceries — including vegetables and refrigerated and freezer products — that it used as a way to stay competitive with traditional big-box retailers like Walmart and Target and Uber-like logistics newcomers like Instacart. The company now sells its own line of meal kits through Fresh to rival ready-to-cook options from companies like Blue Apron and Plated.
Use apps to check prices in real-time. “The app ShopSavvy is really useful when you’re out shopping in stores because you can scan the barcode on items and see if there is a better deal elsewhere,” says Palmer of Nerdwallet. Woroch is also a fan of ShopSavvy, as well as Flipp, which provides circulars all in one place so you can quickly compare to plan your shopping trip strategically.
As Seen On TV is a generic nameplate for products advertised on television in the United States for direct-response mail-order through a toll-free telephone number. As Seen On TV advertisements, known as infomercials, are usually 30-minute shows or two-minute spots during commercial breaks. These products can range from kitchen, household, automotive, cleaning, health, and beauty products, to exercise and fitness products, books, or to toys and games for children. Typically the packaging for these items includes a standardized red seal in the shape of a CRT television screen with the words "AS SEEN ON TV" in white, an intentional allusion to the logo of TV Guide magazine.

Leonard Bernstein (August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist. Born Louis Bernstein in Lawrence, MA, he was the son of Ukrainian Jewish parents Jennie (née Resnick) and Samuel Joseph Bernstein, a hair-dressing supplies wholesaler originating from Rovno, now Ukraine. The family spent their summers at their vacation home in Sharon, MA. His grandmother insisted that his first name be Louis, but his parents always called him Leonard, which they preferred. He officially changed his name to Leonard when he was fifteen, shortly after his grandmother’s death. To his friends and many others he was simply known as “Lenny.”
Sam Bernstein was a businessman and owner of a bookstore in downtown Lawrence. Sam initially opposed young Leonard’s interest in music. Despite this, the elder Bernstein took him to orchestra concerts in his teenage years and eventually supported his music education. At a very young age, Bernstein listened to a piano performance and was immediately captivated. He subsequently began learning the piano seriously when the family acquired his cousin Lillian Goldman’s unwanted piano. As a child, Bernstein attended the Garrison Grammar School and Boston Latin School. He would often play entire operas or Beethoven symphonies with his younger sister Shirley at the piano. He had a variety of piano teachers in his youth including Helen Coates who later became his secretary.
After graduation from Boston Latin School in 1935, Bernstein attended Harvard University, where he studied music with, amongst others, Edward Burlingame Hill and Walter Piston. During his time at Harvard he was briefly an accompanist for the Harvard Glee Club. Bernstein also mounted a student production of The Cradle Will Rock, directing its action from the piano as the composer Marc Blitzstein had done at the premiere. Blitzstein, who heard about the production, subsequently became a friend and influence (both musically and politically) on Bernstein. Bernstein also met the conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos at the time. Although he never taught Bernstein, Mitropoulos’s charisma and power as a musician was a major influence on Bernstein’s eventual decision to take up conducting. The other important influence that Bernstein first met during his Harvard years was composer Aaron Copland, whom he met at a concert and then at a party afterwards on Copland’s birthday in 1938. At the party Bernstein played Copland’s Piano Variations, a thorny work Bernstein loved without knowing anything about its composer until that evening. Although he was not formally Copland’s student as such, Bernstein would regularly seek advice from Copland in the following years about his own compositions and would often cite him as “his only real composition teacher”.
After completing his studies at Harvard in 1939, graduating with a B.A. cum laude) he enrolled at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he studied conducting with Fritz Reiner, piano with Isabelle Vengerova, orchestration with Randall Thompson, counterpoint with Richard Stöhr, and score reading with Renée Longy Miquelle. After he left Curtis, Bernstein lived in New York, sharing a flat with his friend Adolph Green and often accompanying Green, Betty Comden and Judy Holliday in a comedy troupe called The Reviewers who performed in Greenwich Village. He took jobs with a music publisher, transcribing music or producing arrangements under the pseudonym Lenny Amber, the meaning of his name in English. In 1940, he began his study at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer institute, Tanglewood, in the conducting class of the orchestra’s conductor, Serge Koussevitzky. Another student in the class was Lukas Foss who also became a lifelong friend.
On November 14, 1943, having recently been appointed assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, he made his major conducting debut at sudden notice—and without any rehearsal—after Bruno Walter came down with the flu. The next day, The New York Times carried the story on their front page and their editorial remarked, “It’s a good American success story. The warm, friendly triumph of it filled Carnegie Hall and spread far over the air waves.” He became instantly famous because the concert was nationally broadcast, and afterwards started to appear as a guest conductor with many U. S. orchestras. From 1945 to 1947 Bernstein was the Music Director of the New York City Symphony Orchestra, which had been founded the previous year by the conductor Leopold Stokowski.
In addition to becoming known as a conductor, Bernstein also emerged as a composer in the same period. In January 1944 he conducted the premiere of his Jeremiah Symphony in Pittsburgh. His score to the ballet Fancy Free choreographed by Jerome Robbins opened in New York in April 1944 and this was later developed into the musical On the Town with lyrics by Comden and Green that opened on Broadway in December 1944. After World War II, Bernstein’s career on the international stage began to flourish. When Koussevitzky died in 1951, Bernstein became head of the orchestral and conducting departments at Tanglewood, holding this position for many years. Also that year, he married the Chilean actress Felicia Cohn Montealegre on September 10. They had three children, Jamie, Alexander, and Nina.
Bernstein was a visiting music professor from 1951 to 1956 at Brandeis University, and he founded the Creative Arts Festival there in 1952. He conducted various productions at the first festival including the premiere of his opera Trouble in Tahiti. In 1953 he produced his score to the musical Wonderful Town at very short notice, working again with his old friends Comden and Green, who wrote the lyrics. In 1954 Bernstein made the first of his television lectures for the CBS arts program Omnibus. In late 1956, Bernstein conducted the New York Philharmonic in concerts that were to have been conducted by Guido Cantelli, who had died in an air crash in Paris. This was the first time Bernstein had conducted the orchestra in subscription concerts since 1951. Partly due to these appearances, Bernstein was named the music director of the New York Philharmonic in 1957, replacing Dimitri Mitropoulos. Bernstein held the music directorship until 1969 (with a sabbatical in 1965) although he continued to conduct and make recordings with the orchestra for the rest of his life and was appointed “laureate conductor”.
Prior to taking over the New York Philharmonic, Bernstein composed the music for two shows. The first was for the operetta Candide, which was first performed in 1956 with a libretto by Lillian Hellman based on Voltaire’s novel. The second was Bernstein’s collaboration with the choreographer Jerome Robbins, the writer Arthur Laurents, and the lyricist Stephen Sondheim to produce the musical West Side Story. In 1962 the New York Philharmonic moved from Carnegie Hall to Philharmonic Hall (now Avery Fisher Hall) in the new Lincoln Center. With his commitment to the New York Philharmonic and his many other activities, Bernstein had little time for composition during the 1960s. The two major works he produced at this time were his Kaddish Symphony dedicated to the recently assassinated President John F. Kennedy and the Chichester Psalms which he produced during a sabbatical year he took from the Philharmonic in 1965 to concentrate on composition. To try to have more time for composition was probably a major factor in his decision to step down as Music Director of the Philharmonic in 1969, and to never accept such a position anywhere again.
Bernstein’s major compositions during the 1970s were probably his MASS: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players, and Dancers; his score for the ballet Dybbuk; his orchestral vocal work Songfest; and his U. S. bicentenary musical 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue written with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner which was his first real theatrical flop, and last original Broadway show. Bernstein was appointed in 1973 to the Charles Eliot Norton Chair as Professor of Poetry at his alma mater, Harvard University, and delivered a series of six televised lectures on music with musical examples played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. A major period of upheaval in Bernstein’s personal life began in 1977 when his wife Felicia was diagnosed with lung cancer; she died on June 16, 1978.
Bernstein received the Kennedy Center Honors award in 1980. For the rest of the 1980s he continued to conduct, teach, compose and produce the occasional TV documentary. His most significant compositions of the decade were probably his opera A Quiet Place which he wrote with Stephen Wadsworth and which premiered in Houston in 1983; his Divertimento for Orchestra; his Halil for flute and orchestra; his Concerto for Orchestra “Jubilee Games”; and his song cycle Arias and Barcarolles. In 1982, he and Ernest Fleischmann founded the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute as a summer training academy along the lines of Tanglewood.
In his later years, Bernstein’s life and work was celebrated around the world, as it has been since his death. The Israel Philharmonic celebrated his involvement with them at Festivals in Israel and Austria in 1977. On December 25, 1989, Bernstein conducted Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in East Berlin’s Schauspielhaus (Playhouse) as part of a celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the summer of 1990, Bernstein and Michael Tilson Thomas founded the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan. Bernstein was already at this time suffering from the lung disease that would lead to his death. He made his final performance as a conductor at Tanglewood on August 19, 1990, with the Boston Symphony playing Benjamin Britten’s “Four Sea Interludes” from Peter Grimes, and Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. He suffered a coughing fit in the middle of the Beethoven performance which almost caused the concert to break down. He announced his retirement from conducting on October 9, 1990, and died of a heart attack five days later. He was 72 years old.
Leonard Bernstein was an eclectic composer whose music fused elements of jazz, Jewish music, theatre music and the work of older composers like Aaron Copland, Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud, George Gershwin, and Marc Blitzstein. Some of his works, especially his score for West Side Story, helped bridge the gap between classical and popular music. His music was rooted in tonality but in some works like his Kaddish Symphony and the opera A Quiet Place he mixed in 12-tone elements. His most popular pieces were the Overture to Candide, the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, the Serenade for Violin, Strings, Harp and Percussion and the Three Dance Episodes from On the Town. His shows West Side Story, On the Town, Wonderful Town and Candide are regularly performed, and his symphonies and concert works are programmed from time to time by orchestras around the world. He was among the first conductors born and educated in the United States of America to receive worldwide acclaim. Many of his works are regularly performed around the world, although none has matched the tremendous popular and commercial success of West Side Story.
My collection includes the following works by Bernstein:
The Age of Anxiety, Symphony No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra (1949).
Candide (1956): Overture,
Fancy Free Ballet (1943), including Three Dance Variations (Galop, Waltz, Danzon).
On the Town (1944): Three Dance Episodes.
On the Waterfront (1954): Symphonic Suite.
Westside Story (1957): Symphonic Dances (1961), Medley, and other Selections.

- Track belts are 30″ wide sections of material that lie inside the containment berm and act as a “buffer” between a vehicle’s tires and the berm.
- Track belts come in pairs and will typically run the length of the berm’s usable space.
- Some customers prefer to get a few extra feet on each end so they can also cover the end walls.
- The polyester blended PVC layer provides low stretch and good tear resistance.
- The heavy-duty PVC compound offers excellent oil/hydrocarbon resistance as well as good wear characteristics.


The participants of the Audi Autonomous Driving Cup each receive two model vehicles per team. The hardware platform, developed by Audi specifically for the contest, corresponds to a 1:8 scale replica of the Audi Q2. Below you will find technical details about the model cars.
The miniature Q2 is driven by a high-torque, brushless motor. It is controlled by a cruise control that allows controlled forward and reverse driving, as well as braking, in both directions, even at low speeds.
The steering is performed by a digital servo motor, which is also used in this form in model racing. It is characterized by a high actuating power at low operating times. This ensures a very precise and above all fast steering. A read-back of the set steering angle is no longer necessary due to the integrated control.

Beyond attachment theory and therapy: Towards sensitive and evidence-based interventions with foster and adoptive families in distress
Elements of attachment theory have been embraced by practitioners endeavouring to assist foster and adopted children and their parents. Attachment theory articulates the potential risks of experiencing multiple caregivers; emphasizes the importance of close social relationships to development; and recognizes that substitute parents may not always have close relationships with children who have experienced adversities before joining them. Attachment theory offers concerned parents what they believe to be a scientific explanation about their lack of the close, satisfying parent–child relationship they desire. Yet the scientific base of attachment theory is limited both in terms of its ability to predict future behaviours, and especially with regard to its use as the underpinning theory for therapeutic intervention with children experiencing conduct problems. There is a critical need to review the role of attachment theory in child and family services and to consider its place among other explanations for children's disturbing behaviour. An important step towards pursuing alternative approaches is for researchers and practitioners to understand the reasons the attachment paradigm appeals to so many adoptive and foster parents, given the apparent widespread prevalence of attachment-based interventions. Such understanding might assist in the development of adoption-sensitive uses of appropriate evidence-based treatment approaches.

A week ago Thursday, Luisa Medrano, a Hudson County bar owner who pleaded guilty to a role in an international human smuggling ring in 2006, was granted probation by U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano in Trenton and allowed to return to work, rather than spend the 24 to 30 months in jail she’d been facing. She received a lighter sentence, many say, because she gave testimony to federal prosecutors against former Guttenberg Mayor David Delle Donna and his wife Anna, whom she had befriended and given gifts to over the years.
The testimony helped put Delle Donna, the $7,000-per-year part-time mayor of the tiny town of Guttenberg, in prison, along with his wife, Anna, who had served on the town’s Planning Board.
But some say that Medrano’s sentence for her own crimes is too light. The story may also be useful as a campaign attack against former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie when he runs for New Jersey governor this year, as he has frequently cited the scores of corrupt politicians he has put in jail in New Jersey – but did not mention the accused lawbreakers who were rewarded for their testimony.
Medrano was given three years probation, with six months of it as house arrest. She has paid $250,000 in back taxes and will have to pay approximately $3,900 more in restitution.
The Delle Donnas are serving a 51-month sentence in federal prison. Medrano told prosecutors that she gave cash to the couple to use for gambling in Atlantic City; a dog with canine insurance; and various gifts in the hopes of receiving better treatment, as she was a bar owner and landlord in the area.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Wigler, Medrano admitted to harboring illegal aliens in three apartments that she owned as early as 2004. These women were required to work off their smuggling debt, which ranged from $10,000 to $20,000, by working six days a week from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. at three bars owned by Medrano, according to a U.S. Department of Justice press release in 2006. At Medrano’s bars, El Paisano, Puerto de La Union I, and Puerto de La Union II in Union City, the women would earn $240 per week plus tips. The women, who included at least four juveniles, would get male patrons to buy them drinks and would dance with them for $3, according to prosecutors.
Son: ‘Miscarriage of justice’
Last week, the Delle Donnas’ son, Joseph Tavano, said he was outraged by Pisano’s decision. He said it was a “miscarriage of justice” that was tearing his family apart.
“My parents are sitting in jail for receiving a dog and bottles of Grand Marnier from a friend.” – David Delle Donna’s son
“[Former U.S. District Attorney Christopher Christie] said he was going to make her pay for her fines, and she got probation,” said Tavano. “He said he was going to use the weight of his office to see that she was punished, and she got three years [probation] in order for her to go work. She pleaded guilty to harboring illegal aliens … and my parents are sitting in jail for receiving a dog and bottles of Grand Marnier from a friend.”
Future campaign issue?
According to Wigler, Pisano said that Medrano never had a direct hand in the smuggling ring.
“None of the victims had indicated that Ms. Medrano in any way forced them to do anything or mistreated them, unlike several of the other co-defendants of this case,” said Wigler.
Guttenberg Mayor Gerald Drasheff, who replaced Delle Donna, said that it was unfortunate that the jury in the Delle Donna case, when listening to Medrano’s testimony, couldn’t forsee what she might get in exchange. He said that her credibility was also questionable.
According to published reports, Medrano’s testimony helped eight of her co-defendants receive convictions.
“It does raise a question as to who committed the worst offense.” – Gerald Drasheff
“The jury thought that the Delle Donnas were guilty, but a lot of that depended on her testimony, and she definitely had an incentive to be less than truthful,” said Drasheff. “It does raise a question as to who committed the worst offense.”
Christie stepped down from his position last month in order to run for the Republican nomination for governor this year, likely taking on Hoboken resident Gov. Jon Corzine. In his resignation letter, Christie noted his agency’s achievements in his seven years at the helm, including more than 130 convictions of elected and appointed officials without an acquittal.
Drasheff said that he is not running for governor, but if he were to, the Medrano decision could become a campaign issue against Christie.
But Drasheff did not want to talk about the case at length, noting that he wanted to move forward as mayor and focus on Guttenberg.
Family feels ‘duped’
Tavano said he felt “duped” by Medrano and said that he felt sorry for the victims of the smuggling ring. He said that his parents’ attorney said Medrano gave 100 hours of testimony in the corruption case, but he believed that the crimes she was accused of far outweigh those of his parents.
According to court papers, the women in the ring were often sexually abused by their handlers.
Travano said that his parents were dealt a $9,000 tax evasion charge and are “sitting in jail” for a lesser offense than Medrano’s.
As a part of her original plea deal, Medrano forfeited two of her apartments. She pleaded guilty last week to a lesser tax evasion charge as well, according to Wigler.
Travano said his son missed his grandparents and that it “pains him as a father” to be in this position.
Della Donne’s mother, Dorothy, who lives in North Bergen, penned a handwritten letter of outrage to the newspapers about Medrano’s sentencing. She referred to Medrano as “a coyote from Cliffside Park.”
She wrote, “[Medrano] will be spending time with her family with a slight tap on the wrist, while Anna and David, who she manipulated, will spend years in separate facilities, thousands of miles away from their children, grandson, and parents, all of whom are spending sleepless nights and pangs of separation. Once again, I question our judicial system who allowed this. Shame! Shame! On them.” She signed it, “Dorothy Delle Donna, Dave’s mom.”
Tavano said last week that his father is doing “fine,” while his mother is having a harder time dealing with incarceration and the judge’s decision on Medrano.
“[My father] said, ‘Don’t let this consume you, we need to move on,’ ” said Tavano.
He said that right now he was hoping that an appeal for his parents’ release will be successful and that his faith in the system will be restored.

This high-end yet casually sophisticated restaurant and bar is the antithesis of your typical mall experience. That’s mostly thanks to the approachable fusion cuisine of James Beard-nominated chef Scott Anderson. The shareable menu includes soy-kissed chicken-thigh satays, honey-coated lamb-and-falafel salad, and a deeply robust braised short rib. At happy hour, partake in signature cocktails, cultivated wines or a nicely priced house pilsner. Along with Sunday brunch, outdoor seasonal seating puts diners in the heart of the mall action—albeit quietly.

Cedar Craft & Kitchen
Paul DiBona (Conshohocken’s Pepperoncini) deftly pairs comfort food and craft cocktails at this friendly spot. Chef Brian Morris’ biggest sellers include tangy St. Louis-style pork ribs, cheddary ham-stuffed risotto bites, a deeply satisfying meatloaf and a fragrant Italian roast pork sandwich. The bar features 11 beers on tap, a simple, well-curated wine list and the signature Jim Beam-laced Muddy Waters cocktail.
1061 Cedarwood Road, Glenolden, (610) 537-7003, www.barcck.com.
Sona Pub & Kitchen
Sona—Irish for “happy”—offers top-flight American gastro fare with a fusion kick. We love the malty fish and chips, the caramelized brussels sprouts with crispy cider-braised pork belly, and the surprisingly good pizzas. For weekend brunch, there’s Cap’n Crunch-coated French toast, traditional Irish bangers and puddings, and the WTAF—a chorizo sloppy Joe on a grilled glazed doughnut topped with two eggs. Bar highlights include 32 craft brews on tap and 60-plus by the bottle. Hardly your typical Irish pub.

To the right side of chef Eric Yost’s dual-concept eatery, there’s the higher-end Farmer’s Room, its ever-changing menu a field-to-table homage to local farmers and purveyors. On the left side, it’s the picnic table-lined Beer Garden, a libation-splashed playground where you can enjoy 24 local craft beers, along with ciders, regional wines, and cocktails infused with local spirits. Menu standouts include panko-coated deviled eggs dolloped with porcini mousse, the Lebanon bologna sandwich with stout-spiked mustard, and a juicy Wyebrook Farm double-patty burger. Suburban also has Sunday brunch, live music several nights a week, and an outside lounge with cozy fire pits.

Justin Weathers and Joe Monnich have upped the ante at Eagleview’s Al Pastor, building on their rustic American dining success at Lansdale’s Stove & Tap. Their energetic Tex-Mex cantina boasts an earthy, offbeat vibe. Pair a cucumber-jalapeño margarita with crispy cauliflower tacos, nachos blanketed in Oaxaca cheese, or adobe-rubbed chicken quesadillas. Extonites flock to $5 Margarita Mondays and $3 Taco Tuesdays. When the weather’s nice, the outdoor patio is a huge plus.

Venezuelan Ivan Brcek pours an invigorating papelón laced with sugar cane and lime, to go with a menu that features Caribbean sea-focused highlights like crispy half-moon corn empanaditas stuffed with fish mohito, a traditional sweet, citrus-tanged shrimp ceviche, olive-oil-sheened salmon, and tuna tartare. You’ll also find several chicken and vegetarian options.

Most notable is executive chef Ted Iwachiw, who starts with 100-percent source-verified Brandt natural beef for his sublime steaks. Also excellent: the penne chicken with walnut cream and the delectable cheesesteak spring rolls. Davio’s three-course power lunch ($19) is a steal. There’s also Sunday brunch and outdoor seating (in warmer months).

KARE, Evergreen Foundation partnership provides additional services for child victims of abuseSpecial to The Mountaineer
Walking through the door at the KARE (Kids Advocacy and Resource Effort) house in Waynesville it is easy to see how Child Advocacy Centers (CAC) such as this provide the warmth and comfort needed by the child victims of abuse that they serve. The house is filled with toys and child friendly furnishings to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere where the child can feel safe.
KARE has been a vital part of the Haywood County community since 1991. The center provides critical crisis intervention for child victims of abuse, neglect and sexual abuse. According to Julie Schroer, KARE executive director, statistics show that as many as one in eight children will be sexually abused prior to reaching 18 years old. That translates to more than 1,300 children who live in Haywood County. This past year, KARE served approximately 200 children. In many of these cases the children came to KARE to participate in a forensic interview. In other cases, a Child Medical Evaluation was also necessary to confirm the child’s well-being. To date, KARE has been unable to provide this service and the children and non-offending caregivers must travel to Mission Children’s Hospital in Asheville to have this evaluation completed. A grant awarded by the Evergreen Foundation will allow this service to be provided at the KARE house.
Schroer believes that child medical evaluations have been a missing piece to KARE services. Not only is the KARE House less intimidating, it will also enable the family to get their needed services within the County which will provide more continuity and support for the child and family.
“Providing the forensic interviews and child medical evaluations at KARE means less time, less travel and less traumatic impact on the child victim of abuse," said Schroer. "The KARE house is family and child friendly to such an extent, that often, children ask if they can come back to visit us again and then we know that we have provided a place that is comfortable and safe.”
Through Evergreen Foundation funding KARE has already established an examination room and would like to begin providing child medical evaluations after the first of the year. Evergreen funding will provide the funds for training of the medical practitioner and for the evaluations. The medical practitioner needed for the evaluations can be a physician, nurse practitioner, or a physician’s assistant. Ideally, the practitioner will have pediatric experience. Currently, KARE is actively seeking to fill this position.
“We anticipate seeing children where further medical treatment is not likely needed," said Schroer. Mission Children’s Hospital will continue to provide evaluations and services to children in severe abuse and emergency situations.”
Safety for the child victim and support is the focus of the services at KARE. Having the capacity to provide all of the services needed in one location can reduce the potential for additional trauma for the child victim. KARE will also be able to provide these services in a more-timely manner if they have someone available to conduct the child medical evaluations within the County.
For more information on child abuse prevention training opportunities or for support during a child abuse investigation call KARE at 456-8995.
The mission of the Evergreen Foundation is to improve access to and public awareness of quality prevention, treatment, and support services by the provider community to individuals and families with intellectual/developmental disabilities, behavioral health, and/or substance abuse needs in Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties.

I’m standing in my kitchen, reeling from a long, tedious day of too many people asking too many things in too short a time from this one mortal person. My head’s pounding, my stomach’s growling and there’s so much tension in my back, I’m practically wearing my shoulders as a helmet. All I seem to be able to focus on is whether I should include one, two or three slices of individually wrapped, unnaturally yellow, processed cheese slices in what I’m sure will be the definitive grilled cheese sandwich. The phone rings. I say the “f” word three times, each utterance louder than previous, accidentally drop my cheese into a sink full of soapy dish water, then pick up the phone to hear a way-too-cheery, “I love your play, man. LOVE YOUR PLAY!”
The world stands still. What cheese? What sandwich? What shoulders-as-helmut? Reality sets in with another couple of questions: which play? Who is this? (But secretly, does it really matter?) The chipper voice continues: “We want to do it. Five week run. Equity showcase, blah blah blah . . .”
I don’t hear most of what he said after “five week run.” I was floating, not unlike the processed cheese on top of the soapy dishwater. I drifted back down to hear him say, “we want to do a reading for you in the next couple of weeks. Is that okay?”Okay?! The man’s offering me a reading and a five week run of my play here in New York, and he wants to know if it’s “okay?!” I’m practically ready to offer him the whole of my retirement fund in perpetuity, I’m so thankful.
What followed from that conversation forward was one of the most painful, disturbing and enlightening experiences I’ve ever had in the theater. I wouldn’t trade it for all the money in Terrence McNally’s bank account . . . but I wouldn’t wish it on any living playwright either. If you can learn from my mistakes (and baby, I made so many I lost count after a while), you’ll save yourself years in the aging process. But more importantly, maybe you’ll see what we sometimes do as playwrights because we’re so unhealthily thankful, so damn appreciative that someone, hell, anyone has finally commended our art and we, in turn, respond in that painful Sally Field’s “You like me. You really like me,” kind of way.
A few disclaimers: I was not a victim. I am responsible for what happened, as much as any one person can be in a collaborative art. And I had plenty of warning signs along the way. Wrong. I had nothing BUT warning signs along the way. Friggin’ Macy’s was practically shooting fireworks in front of my face, telling me to wake up. But I was too beholden to these people who were doing my play to think clearly, take sensible action or respond smartly. I was the enemy – not them. They may have been the cheese, but I grilled it.
At the first reading of the play two major problems were apparent: the central character of the play (a seventeen-year old boy) was being played by a twenty-five year old who “if he shaves looks younger. “ I looked at his face and thought, “you could peel a layer of skin off and he’d still look twenty-five.” I searched for some sort of inner calm in the “maybes:” maybe the director saw something I didn’t. Maybe the director knew his work and had seen some sort of miraculous transformation before. Maybe the actor hadn’t slept for two weeks and looked haggard and old because he was tired. Maybe I wasn’t willing to compromise my image of what I had always thought that character should look like. The WARNING FLAG went up. I ignored it – didn’t want to cause problems early on. I mean, after all, it was only the first reading. Never mind that the play is about a seventeen-year old boy being forced to grow up quicker than any teenager should.
The second major problem in the first reading: the same too-old actor was paraphrasing my text. Well, that’s not exactly true. He wasn’t paraphrasing my text so much as creating one of his own. I’m not talking about rewording just a line here and there, but whole sections of dialogue. If there were ten words in a line, five were mine, five were his. If there were ten lines in a section of dialogue, two were mine, eight were his. The third problem surfaced quickly: other actors, sensing there was a looseness, or casualness to the reading, also began paraphrasing. The fourth problem then became evident: the director didn’t stop any of the actors from doing it. The fifth problem: the actors felt comfortable paraphrasing the text in front of the playwright and the director colluded in their disregard for my artistry. The sixth problem: when I suggested to the director that the actors read the text as written so I could hear the text I wrote, he made an announcement to the cast who proceeded to continue doing exactly what they were doing before.
The seventh and biggest problem: I didn’t withdraw the play right then and there. What was I doing?! Was I waiting for some Olympia Dukakis looking deity to part the clouds, peer down and say, “you’ve got a problem here, big boy.” And this was just the first reading! We still had a second reading, two months of rehearsal and five weeks of a run to go.
Regardless of what went down in that first reading, I walked out still semi-buoyant by the prospect of seeing my play fully produced. Never mind that the director was going to cast that twenty-five year old paraphraser as the seventeen year old character. Never mind that some of the actors had an obvious disregard for the writer, and clearly didn’t take direction early on from their director. Never mind the director couldn’t or wouldn’t control his cast. Never mind that I didn’t put my foot down and demand some of the basic intrinsic rights any playwright should have when his/her play is produced. I was shamefully seduced out of good judgment by the prospect of a production.
The second reading was marked by one event: Mr. Paraphraser was worse. Not only did he paraphrase large sections of the text, he made the most bizarre acting choices I’ve seen on a stage in all my twenty-five years in the theatre. There was high emotion, low emotion, no emotion, some emotion, emotion behind hands, emotion with eyebrows, lip emotion and some emotion that simply has no description. He was loud, soft, strong, weak, screaming, whispering – usually within the same line of dialogue. I thought I was witnessing a melt-down. “No,” I was told, “it’s just his process.” I thought of that cheese floating in my sink during the first phone call I had with the director.
When the reading was over, I strongly voiced my concern about the actor. The director assured me he would be fine. The producer assured me he would be fine. The stage manager assured me he would be fine. “He’s gotten great reviews in the New York Times,” they almost sang to me in a choral ode. Then all three smiled at me and said, “stop worrying.” So I repressed the impulse to yell, “FIRE HIM! NOW! IN FRONT OF ME, SO I CAN SEE IT. DO IT TWICE TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER,” and stopped worrying, because maybe . . . That’s right. I got a good dose of the “maybes” again.
I was invited to rehearsal a week after they began. I walked in on what felt like a scene from any bad segment of Saturday Night Live: the director was standing on stage directing the actors to go through the whole script, beginning to end, only using sounds – an emotional opera, or, sound scape, if you will. I gulped. Actually, I laughed and groaned quietly, then gulped. I watched for five minutes as the actors moooooed and hissed, clucked and cooed their way through the opening scene. Very aware that I was witnessing someone’s process, all I could think of was that floating cheese in my sink again. I leaned over to the director and whispered in his ear that maybe I should come back when the actors were more connected to the actual text than what their improvisation would allow. He invited me back for the next week.
I went back several times the following week, only to witness the actors and director engaged in more improvisation, more exploration, more process (the cheese image plagued me). At the end of the week, I pulled the director aside and asked him to let the cast read the play for me so I could at least engage in the rehearsal process and offer the actors character insights I felt they desperately needed to realize the play. The director couldn’t have been more accommodating, but when the actors read the play, I didn’t recognize any of the characters I had written, the story or conflict. Ooops. Now there’s a problem. It made sense, though, if you considered that the director had allowed the actors to improvisationalize themselves out of any kind of emotional clarity related to the text. I stood some ground and said to the director: “you’ve given your actors a football field to play in. My play is the size of a shoebox. It’s too small for them now. It’s not interesting enough. There’s not enough room for them to play in.” He listened, and I believed he understood me.
The rehearsal period went on for a month more. Each time I went to rehearsal, gains were made and lost; ground was covered, then disappeared; two steps were made forward and nine steps were taken back. It was the most confounding thing I’d ever experienced. How could it be that I’d walk into rehearsal one day and the actors were ready for Broadway; the next time I’d walk in they weren’t ready for a bowling alley. I did everything I could think of. I talked, listened, offered advice, offered suggestions, argued with the director, conceded with the director, discussed the problems with the producer, the artistic staff of the theatre until I finally admitted to myself what I had known all along: the director did not have the skills to direct my play.
Harsh words, I know. This person had a heart bigger than all of New York and loved the theatre, but did that give him the experience, wisdom and just plain know-how to direct my play?
And, adding to the emotional injury, he loved my play. He understood my play. He could have practically written the play himself. He understood the characters, their motivations, their needs, the arc of the story, my intention as a writer and on and on. BUT, he couldn’t communicate that to a group of actors with any kind of inspired leadership. You can tell someone everything there is to know about what you’ve written, but you can’t tell them how to communicate what they’ve learned.
Suggesting that the director be replaced would have been a waste of breath – he was everyone’s friend, an integral part of that theatre company’s family and had a history with the theatre in which he had certainly paid his dues. What to do, then, when you find yourself the artistic stranger in a group of artists and are put in a position to want things for your play or production that will cause a tidal wave in everyone’s otherwise still water? Do you sit quietly by and let happen whatever happens? Or do you take a stand, make demands and risk the whole operation imploding on itself? When do you choose to fight the good fight or resign yourself to be at peace with whatever appears on opening night? Honestly, I don’t know the answers to these questions, but it poses to me a much large question:
Is it better to see a production of your play that doesn’t fulfill your vision of what the play should be -- for whatever reason, or is better to have no production until it can be the “right” production?
Nagging thoughts: who’s to say if the “right” production will ever come along? And is your vision of the “right” production only a romantic fantasy anyway? Can we think about our work objectively enough to include a vision that doesn’t align with our own? When do we compromise and when do not? At what point, when you’re a relatively unknown playwright who’s hungry for a production of your work, do you bite the hand that’s feeding you? My mouth was opened the whole time – but I couldn’t, wouldn’t and didn’t bite down.
Opening night was a good news/bad news kind of thing. The good news: Mr. Paraphraser had learned most of his lines, though he still felt that there were sections of the text that needed his spontaneous improvements. The bad news: another actor in the cast who was Jekyll in rehearsal became Hyde in performance. This actor surprised no one more than me by filling the text with the “f” word, inexplicably grabbing his crotch for emotional emphasis, changing a lot of his character intentions he had refined in rehearsal, and during another character’s monologue, channeling a screaming baboon on stage. It was a sight to behold -- a sight, I might add, that had the full support of the director.
I talked, faxed, discussed, cursed, explained, tried to reason, tried to negotiate – but I was already way behind in the race. So I “maybe’d” myself through two more performances, but he (the actor) got no better. I kicked into overdrive, trying to talk to anyone who would listen. It got me no where. It was too late. I was too late. Everyone was in that, “we got the show open -- leave us alone” mode. So all I knew to do at that point was to disallow any press from seeing the production and tell everyone I knew not to go. How ferociously sad to get that far and have nothing to hold up to look at and be proud of. But who do I have to blame, really, but me?
I can’t make someone a better director, no matter how much I talk and explain. I can’t predict an actor’s behavior on or off the stage. I can’t make a set look better, the lights brighter, the publicity stronger or more thorough. I can’t do anything but allow other people to do their jobs, and voice my concern when they don’t. Most importantly, I have the right as a playwright at any point to step in and literally say, “Stop. No more.” But I have to have the security and strength to do just that and stop hoping against hope that problems will solve themselves so that I can continue to be perceived as a someone “good,” someone “easy to work with,” a “team player,” and a “good spirit of the theatre.” I have to learn to stand by my convictions, even if that means I don’t get the production. For me, there can be no other way now. I know the pain of too much compromise.


New Delhi [India], December 8 (ANI): Flag carrier Air India has announced plans to refurbish its entire legacy of widebody fleet, comprising 27 Boeing B787-8 and 13 B777 aircraft, committing over USD 400 million for the project.
According to a company statement, this refurbishment will see a complete overhaul of existing cabin interiors, including the addition of latest seats and best inflight entertainment across all classes.
It will also see the introduction of a premium economy cabin on both fleets. The first-class cabin will also be retained on the 777s.
Air India has engaged leading London-based product design companies -- JPA Design and Trendworks -- to assist with the cabin interior design refurbishment programme. According to the company, the collaboration brings together two experts in the fields of aviation and interiors that have produced designs for major brands including Taj Hotels, The Orient Express and Herman Miller International.
With this significant investment, Air India said it was committed to providing its passengers with a comfortable, modern, and technologically advanced cabin to facilitate a travel experience that is comparable with the best airlines in the world.
The complete interior refurbishment entails significant regulatory and engineering preparation, which commenced earlier this year. This lengthy but necessary process is expected to lead to the first aircraft entering service in mid-2024, according to the national carrier.
Commenting on the widebody cabin refurbishment programme, Campbell Wilson, Managing Director (MD) & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Air India, said, "Under our Vihaan.AI transformation program, Air India has committed to attaining the highest standards of product and service befitting of a world-class airline. We know that, at present, the cabin product on our 40 legacy widebody aircraft falls short of this standard."
He said although the project commenced some months ago, the company is delighted to now publicly announce this significant investment in a complete interior refit, and it is confident that, when revealed, the new interiors will delight customers and show Air India in a new light.
"We are working closely with partners to accelerate the refit process as fast as possible and, in the meantime, leasing in at least 11 new widebody aircraft with brand new interiors to improve our offering at the earliest opportunity," he added. (ANI)

The last time I played through Crysis I tried to see if I could keep the SCAR through the whole game. It can be done (I did it) up to where the alien ship opens at which point, you loose all your weapons. I was able to keep the SCAR by using the dart to neutralize every NPC in the game and finish them off with the silenced pistol (which is what I did).
It was fun and stretched the game time out considerably. =]

“London, I used to go ice skating here as a kid,” the 29-year-old British rapper Little Simz tells the crowd at Alexandra Palace. “In 2019, I opened up for Jungle here. And now I’ve sold out two nights. What?!” Tonight, Simz is quite literally at home; we’re about a 15-minute drive from where she grew up in Islington.
Simz – full name Simbiatu Abisola Abiola Ajikawo – commands the stage with a certain militancy. She spits in her inimitable dextrous flow during “X”, one of several songs she performs tonight off her excellent 2022 album No Thank You. Dozens of soldier-like silhouettes march in formation on a screen behind her. There’s a theme here. Simz is dressed like an undercover agent, wearing an oversized white shirt, a neat black tie, matching leather gloves, and a pair of blacked-out Prada shades. On closer inspection of the crowd, she is the kingpin of a stylish army: her most devoted fans are in matching attire – there’s a fleet of dapper fans here to see her tonight.
This tour, which has taken Simz to North America, Australia and now back home, is a big deal for the musician. Simz was 16 when she released her first mixtape in 2010 but it wasn’t until her 2019 album Grey Area – written from the foggy headspace of a quarter-life crisis – that she gained widespread recognition for her work. Still, though, labels like “newcomer” and “one to watch” often preceded her name. It took her 2021 album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert winning the Mercury Prize to cement her position as an artist – so when Simz was named Best New Artist at the Brit Awards a year later, despite being 12 years and four studio albums into her career, it felt like a snub. Still, taking to the stage to accept her prize, she smiled and said: “Thank you.” Now, Simz is finally in a position to say No Thank You – the title of her latest album and also this tour – to an industry that overlooked her for so long.
Simz’s star power is unmistakable tonight. During “I Love You, I Hate You”, which tackles her feelings towards her estranged father, she cruises across the stage to the bouncy baseline. The room heats up as she delivers “Heart on Fire”, backdropped by a projection of an orchestra in a blaze. She coolly laments her disillusionment with the music industry as she vents: “You don’t even recognise who it is that you’re becoming/ They don’t give a s***, long as the gravy train running.”
Other chapters of Simz’s discography swarm tonight’s setlist, too. The explosive track “Venom” from Grey Area sees Simz backlit by a slime-green wash. Her flow is slick across the feminist anthem, spitting: “Never givin’ credit where it’s due ‘cause you don’t like pussy in power.” Later, “101 FM”, a widely treasured Simz track from 2019, sends the crowd into a head-nodding frenzy before they groove to “Point and Kill”, an electric, percussive anthem featuring Nigerian artist Obongjayar.
Simz becomes more vulnerable as the evening unfolds. That secret agent armour is gradually stripped away: her leather gloves, bomber jacket, and sunglasses all removed. There’s a palpable roar when Simz takes off her aviators, showing the crowd her eyes for the first time, and she cracks a huge smile. Simz is letting us in. “I’ve been going through it,” she tells the crowd. “If you’re going through something, I want you to stay strong,” she says before launching into “Broken”, a gospel-inflected song inspired by her mental health struggles. Still, she peels her layers back further. “The world is in a very bleak place right now,” she says, asking the audience to take a minute of silence for the lives lost in the Israel-Hamas war. “Pray for world peace,” she says. “God knows we need it.”
While performing “Woman”, an ethereal, soul-inflected love letter to the versatility of womanhood, Simz brings out west London R&B soul singer, Cleo Sol. The pair cast the crowd into a giddy state before Simz closes the show with “Gorilla” – a sharp, percussive, plucked-bass banger. “Name one time I didn’t deliver,” she teases. That line is more than fitting tonight.

|Citation:||Peh, A.E.K., Li, S.F.Y. (2013-04-05). Dengue virus detection using impedance measured across nanoporous alumina membrane. Biosensors and Bioelectronics 42 (1) : 391-396. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2012.10.054|
|Abstract:||The prevalence of dengue around the world makes it critical to develop a simple diagnostic device that can be easily handled by end users and provides fast results. In this paper, we described the use of a small and thin piece of alumina membrane, 60μm thick and 13mm in diameter as the sensing platform for the detection of dengue infection. The electrochemical setup is simplified by using the membrane as both the working and the counter electrode. This is achieved by coating both sides of the membrane with a submicron layer of platinum. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was utilized for the characterization of the immunosensor as well as the acquisition of data. The change in the pore resistance of the membrane displayed a good correlation with the concentration of the dengue 2 and dengue 3 viruses in plaque forming unit (PFU mL-1), giving detection limit of 0.230PFUmL-1 and 0.710PFUmL-1 respectively. This thin piece of membrane sensor, coupled with the simple electrochemical setup, fast detection time of 40min and high sensitivity, showed potential to be developed into a disposable point-of-care diagnostic tool for clinical uses. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.|
