NEW HAMPSHIRE RED SOX SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS TO BE INTRODUCED AT FENWAY PARK SATURDAY
NEW HAMPSHIRE RED SOX SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
TO BE INTRODUCED AT FENWAY PARK SATURDAY;
WINNER OF RED SOX FOUNDATION “IMPACT AWARDS”
IN GRANITE STATE TO BE RECOGNIZED
Red Sox Foundation to Present New Hampshire Public School Seniors with $1,000
College Scholarships During New Hampshire Day at Fenway Park Presented by Bond Auto Parts
BOSTON, MA – The Red Sox Foundation will introduce recipients of the New Hampshire Red Sox Service Scholarships during a pregame ceremony at Fenway Park before the Red Sox-Indians game tomorrow, Saturday, May 21. The program awards students from public high schools across New Hampshire with $1,000 scholarships towards their college education based on academic performance, financial aid eligibility, and demonstrated community service.
The scholarship recipients will be congratulated on the field at Fenway Park by Red Sox Executive Vice President Troup Parkinson, and Red Sox Senior Vice President David Friedman. Jay McFarland, Dealer Principal of McFarland Ford of Exeter, New Hampshire, will also be on hand representing the Ford Motor Company Fund, a sponsor of the program.
The service scholarship program was introduced in 2010 by then-New Hampshire Governor John Lynch, and Red Sox Principal Owner John W. Henry and Red Sox Foundation Board Member Linda Pizzuti Henry. The program has since expanded from 10 qualifying New Hampshire public schools in its inaugural year to 50 in 2016. One student from each high school is chosen for the award. The service scholarships are available in all six New England states.
The foundation will also honor the New Hampshire winner of the “IMPACT Awards” (Inspiring More Philanthropy Across Charities Together) on Saturday, a program that provides Red Sox fans in the five New England states outside of Massachusetts with the opportunity to vote for their favorite local charities to determine the one awarded the annual grant.
Rockingham Nutrition & Meals on Wheels, an organization dedicated to providing nutritious meals and support services to older and disabled residents in southeastern New Hampshire, is the winner this year’s New Hampshire IMPACT Award. The non-profit will receive a $10,000 grant from the Red Sox Foundation during Saturday’s pregame ceremonies.
The May 21 ceremonies are part of New Hampshire Day at Fenway Park, presented by Bond Auto Parts. The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Corey Poitras from Bond Auto Parts and the national anthem will be sung by Susan Cancio-Bello of Sunapee, New Hampshire. Members of the Hampton, New Hampshire, Police Department will carry the colors, and children from the Webster House in Manchester, New Hampshire, will say “Play Ball.”

(Boston
Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)2009年范克萊本鋼琴大賽金獎得主張昊辰，5月14日晚應中華表演藝術基金會之邀，在新英格蘭音樂學院喬丹廳的演奏，技驚全場，數百觀眾不斷起立鼓掌，久久不歇。
“波士頓音樂情報員（The Boston Music Intelligencer）”的樂評家對張昊辰稱許有加。他對這場演奏會的描述是，想像一場完全古典式的鋼琴演奏會，蕭邦，舒伯特，普羅柯菲耶夫（Prokofiev）的曲目，你幾乎每一首都熟悉，但張昊辰的演奏，卻從一開始就那麼動人，細緻入微，表達得那麼有原創感，體貼的攫獲人心，讓人覺得彷彿是第一次聆聽這樣的作品。

這名樂評家還說，在年齡30以下的最有潛力，超人類琴鍵手中，現在增加了張昊辰的名字。她會希望聽張昊辰彈奏任何曲目。

紐英崙玉山科協五月座談基因，介紹台北生物
Cambridge,
MA, May, 14, 2016 – 五月份的專業分享玉山邀請了兩位嘉賓，陳家彥博士，和賴文福博士。
首先開場的是陳家彥博士，陳博士於台灣大學畢業，後於哈佛大學取得公共衛生博士學位。陳博士分享了如何利用全基因組關聯研究以了解複雜疾病遺傳學，如乳癌，類風濕，精神分裂症等遺傳疾病。
隨著高通量基因型鑑定的進步和次世代定序科技的發展，全基因組關聯研究已經被廣泛地使用，來理解複雜疾病的遺傳基礎，例如乳癌、風濕性關節炎、精神分裂症等等，它也貢獻了許多科學新發現。在全基因組關聯研究裡，人類基因组中共同的單核苷酸多型態性被用来偵測出與複雜疾病相關的基因座。在這場演講裡，講者首先介紹全基因組關聯研究的理論背景，包括研究設計、統計分析以及結果闡述，接著針對目前此研究在各種複雜疾病的發現做一個概述。最後，講者與大家討論全基因組關聯研究發現在精準醫學上可能的應用，如利用全基因組遺傳資訊做遺傳上的預測。
骨頭專家賴文福博士簡短的分享了從台灣經驗到台灣理論的主題，並簡單介紹了Taipeibio 以及New England Organogenisis。
本次活動於ARC(Architectural Recourses Cambridge)舉行,現場20多位來賓，對於專業分享的內容和場所都非常的滿意。
玉山科技協會於六月份舉行講座，邀請Victor Tang博士來和大家探討創意發想。譚博士為前IBM副總裁，現為I3nsight的董事長。活動將於六月十一日舉行，活動詳情即註冊請用以下網址https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creativity-workshop-tickets-25529029013 (MJNE提供）

Ultrino Announces Event to Promote Senior Housing Stability
MALDEN – Representative Steve Ultrino (D-Malden) is hosting an event next week to address senior housing and homelessness concerns and to provide resources to Malden’s seniors. The event, Building Elder Housing Stability, will be held from 10am to 12pm on Thursday, May 26 at the Malden Senior Center, located at 7 Washington Street in Malden.
All Malden seniors and their friends and families are invited to attend the free event, which will include information to assist elders in staying in their homes, resources on access to health care, information booths, a panel discussion, and more.
“Our state’s housing crisis presents a particular challenge to seniors, many of whom are seeking retirement or have already retired and are living on fixed incomes,” said Representative Steve Ultrino. “My office works with seniors struggling with the rising costs of housing, healthcare, and other necessities every week, and issues affecting elders have been a priority of mine in the Legislature.”
Residents with questions about the event should contact Alex Pratt in the Office of Representative Steve Ultrino at (617) 722-2460 or Alexander.Pratt@mahouse.gov.
