Jazz Vocalist Lenora Helm Hammonds to Perform in Concert with Durham Symphony Orchestra under Direction of Maestro William Henry Curry

Author: Lenora Helm Hammonds
Dateline: Durham, North Carolina (DURHAM, N.C.)  | Thu, 13 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Gifted vocalist, educator and founder of the progressive programs Vocal Musicianship Academy and Vocal Jazz Online, Lenora Helm Hammonds, has received the coup honor of an invitation to be a featured singer in the program 'Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz.'”



ARTICLE:

Gifted vocalist, educator and founder of the progressive programs Vocal Musicianship Academy and Vocal Jazz Online, Lenora Helm Hammonds, has received the coup honor of an invitation to be a featured singer in the program "Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz."

"I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to work with Maestro Curry and the DSO. And, the icing on the cake is the privilege to sing an arrangement written for me by the very talented saxophonist/composer, Brian Horton. Wow! Pinch me, so I know I'm not dreaming!" says Helm.

The symphonic jazz concert will feature Helm singing the Benny Golson jazz standard "I Remember Clifford" (with strings) and a salute to Hamlet, N.C.-born John Coltrane via Rodgers & Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things" joined by Brian Horton (also a native of North Carolina) who wrote the arrangement.

The afternoon community event, which will showcase the works of historical North Carolina musicians and the state's Composer-of-the-Year Steven Bryant, takes place Sunday, March 2, 2014 at the Carolina Theater in Durham. This is quite an honor for Helm to be selected.

Though Helm has been a vocal professor at North Carolina Central University for several years, the lady actually hails from Chicago, Illinois. She is also currently working on her doctorate from Boston University.

Maestro William Henry Curry, Principal Conductor of the 68-member Durham Symphony Orchestra and a prominent African-American in this country's classical music realm, states, "Lenora Helm is a local treasure as an educator, artist and inspirational person. She introduced herself to me a year or so ago. I enjoyed two of her jazz recordings and have just been waiting for the perfect opportunity to feature her with the symphony. I'm thrilled she was willing and available for this."

Now celebrating his fifth year with the DSO and his 18th season with the North Carolina Symphony, Curry continues, "One of my missions on every program is to play at least one piece by an American composer. American audiences love American music even if you pair it with Beethoven. I've been a performer for more than 45 years so I know what the audience likes. I exhibited this kind of Third Stream fusion at my very first concert here as Musical Director in a program that featured Gershwin as well as Louis Moreau Gottschalk whose music used melodic cells from plantation music and spirituals alongside Chopin and Schuman - a sensation in Europe. American symphony orchestras should feature American composers. When audiences have an opportunity to witness it, they love it."

DSO Executive Director Mary Sherk details, "The genesis of this concert came a year ago. We realized the incredible connections between orchestras and jazz composed of people here in N.C. This concert will illuminate that for the public. It is important to note we could not have done this without a grant from the North Carolina State Arts Council to which we are grateful and indebted. Arts councils have been cutting back on the state level so this is great. It's a competitive process but they evaluated this as worthy."

Noting the escalation of the event, Brett Chambers, Board of Directors President of the Durham Symphony Orchestra enthuses, "This has turned into a bigger thing than was first pitched. The idea is to create community engagement with the orchestra instead of just giving a concert. People love the arts here so there will be a pre-concert chat and a meet and greet afterward. We are shooting for this to become a signature annual event."

Speaking on the participation of Lenora Helm, Chambers concludes, "I've seen her perform a number of times and also appreciate the way she works with students. I brought her in, Maestro Curry was impressed, Lenora suggested Brian Horton as an arranger and now he is on the program. She is a wonderful artist and human being whose sincerity and passion for all she does shines through in her music."

Durham Symphony Orchestra and All That Jazz also features singers Lois Deloatch and Rozlyn Sorrell, saxophonist Greg Gelb, jazz/classical bassist John Brown and his trio.

The Carolina Theatre is located at 309 West Morgan Street Durham, North Carolina.

Concert begins at 3 p.m. Sunday March 2 with a pre-concert chat at 2:30 p.m. with "Composer-of-the-Year" Steve Bryant. A meet and greet with Maestro Curry and other musicians will take place following the concert.

New Personal Goal Setting Program is based on Napoleon Hill’s Philosophies

Author: Foundation for Personal Growth, Inc.
Dateline: Frankston, Texas (FRANKSTON, Texas)  | Wed, 12 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Texas-based Foundation for Personal Growth, Inc. today announced the launch of its comprehensive personal goal setting program based on the book, 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill. The program builds on the book's steps and philosophies to give people the power to change their lives through practical and easy-to-execute steps.”



ARTICLE:

Texas-based Foundation for Personal Growth, Inc. today announced the launch of its comprehensive personal goal setting program based on the book, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The program builds on the book's steps and philosophies to give people the power to change their lives through practical and easy-to-execute steps.

"Think and Grow Rich," which has sold more than 100 million copies in more than 40 countries, provided the foundation for G. Mark Grantz's personal goal setting program.

"We owe the Napoleon Hill Foundation great thanks for providing us with a licensed agreement so we can help people to achieve their goals through our personal goal setting program. We look forward to a long and lasting relationship," says Grantz, CEO and co-founder, the Foundation for Personal Growth.

Each person will have a different experience with the program because it's based on the specific thoughts and desires of the individual, in their own words and at their own pace. The common denominator is the final outcome. People will learn new and systematic ways to obtain their goals.

For many years, Grantz studied small businesses and the effect that goal setting had on business growth. A lot, he proved, rested in the hands of the employees. If employees were personally unhappy, a barrier to professional development often followed. Consequently, if employees were happy in their personal lives, their attitudes at work were generally better, production increased and creativity was enhanced.

"It was through this study that the personal goal setting program was born," Grantz says.

"'Think and Grow Rich' has made countless business people successful, but now with our personal goal setting program, the average person can obtain their dreams and goals too," Grantz says. "This program is easy to use for members of church and youth groups, corporate or non-profit employees, individuals and more - basically anyone who wants to face their fears and control their destiny."

Two versions of the program are available - secular and Christian-faith based. Each version includes: an abridged edition of "Think and Grow Rich," a script notebook companion for a CD set; action guides for each of the "Think and Grow Rich" sections; and a goal-setting notebook.

About Foundation for Personal Growth, Inc.:

The foundation's mission is to create a pathway forward for individuals. With time-tested training strategies and skill-sharpening tools, its clients will define their goals through the manifestation of their thoughts, desires and dreams.

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Death Highlights Need for New Addiction Treatment Methods

Author: The Kiloby Center for Recovery
Dateline: Palm Springs, California (PALM SPRINGS, Calif.)  | Tue, 11 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Addiction experts are speaking out over Philip Seymour Hoffman's probable overdose death as a tragedy that could have been prevented. According to Scott Kiloby of The Kiloby Center for Recovery, what most aren't saying is that many traditional recovery methods simply don't work in the long term.”



ARTICLE:

Addiction experts are speaking out over Philip Seymour Hoffman's probable overdose death as a tragedy that could have been prevented. According to Scott Kiloby of The Kiloby Center for Recovery, in California, what most aren't saying is that many traditional recovery methods simply don't work in the long term.

"Working in the addiction recovery community, I see Philip Seymour Hoffman's death as both a tragedy and a lesson," says Kiloby.

"The recovery industry should consider a total revamp of its methods and remain open to new, even unconventional, ideas in addiction treatment, especially given the low success rate of inpatient treatment. You'd be hard pressed to find a success rate over 30 percent in any inpatient facility," added Kiloby.

Research has shown an addict's mind is hardwired to crave his drug of choice. There are a multitude of studies showing how the reward center of an addict's brain undergoes significant changes, setting in motion an almost constant desire to use. Certain environmental, psychological and emotional cues can trigger the brain's desire to use, even after years of remaining abstinent. A short stint at a rehab center, even where there is no access to drugs during the stay, is often not sufficient to undo these changes in the brain.

According to Kiloby, "What Hoffman needed were simple, effective tools for dissolving addictive thoughts in the moment they arose. He needed something he could take with him after he left treatment and use every day, something more than just the will to stay clean, which is often just not enough. These tools are available, but there is resistance to change in the treatment industry. Old paradigms that are not very effective are being used again and again, even in the face of evidence that they don't work well."

One newer method that Kiloby uses, and which is gaining some ground within the addiction recovery community, is the compulsion inquiry which works to dissolve addictive thoughts and sensations whenever they arise.

"Unfortunately, we'll never know if Hoffman could have benefited from newer techniques, but his death does provide a teachable moment for both addicts and those who treat them," stated Kiloby.

Scott Kiloby is the author of the book, "Natural Rest for Addiction" (ISBN: 978-1481839082). He is the owner and Director of the Kiloby Center for Recovery in Palm Springs, Calif., an outpatient facility which has developed new and revolutionary ways to help those suffering from addiction. http://www.kilobycenter.com/ .

The Harman Press re-located in January 2013 from its longtime address in Hollywood to a larger facility at 6840 Vineland Avenue, North Hollywood, CA 91605. Fox Printing will be closing operations at its shop, shifting all sales and production activity to The Harman Press, effective immediately.

Long Term Care, Senior Citizen Interests

Right at Home Dayton Keeps the Loves of a Lifetime Together

Author: Right at Home Dayton
Dateline: Dayton, Ohio (DAYTON, Ohio)  | Mon, 10 Feb 2014

After spending a lifetime together, couples that have been separated by the chasm of the nursing home suffer the serious medical consequences of a literal broken heart. For nearly a decade, Ohio's Right at Home - Dayton In-Home Care and Assistance has been keeping these loves together in their homes, supporting each other and spending time together, sometimes the last precious moments of their lives.

These loves have held hands through the joys and heartaches of child-rearing, financial hardships, social and policy reforms, wars, and the physical ravages of age. Nothing could tear these lasting loves apart, except illness or injury.

Unfortunately, couples in the twilight of their lives who are forced apart by long term care facilities suffer separation anxiety. Frequently, nursing homes and long-term care facilities are so short staffed that they cannot accompany couples to spend time together. This simple, merciful act is overlooked in the care plan, and if it is requested, it costs extra. After a lifetime of support and holding each other's hands, their only choices are to pay up or live apart, mourning each other's loss. Should only one spouse be placed in the nursing home, the other spouse may be at the mercy of others for transportation in order to spend time with their beloved.

Science has linked emotional health and grief induced stress to the decline in physical health and heart problems, literal Broken Heart Syndrome from the figurative broken heart. The lasting pain of separation may lead to other ailments as well, and to the loss of will to survive. Many times, when one partner dies, another succumbs shortly afterward. Separation is especially damaging to the Alzheimer's patients, in which the familiarity of home and loved ones is a lifeline to their precious memories. Alzheimer's impairs memory, thought, speech, and orientation. Daily consistency, one primary care-giver in their own home, and the comforting presence of their beloved will contribute to a more calm and productive environment.

Love does last forever. We are witnesses to it in the love that has kept our parents and grandparents together for many decades. Right at Home-Dayton has extensive experience in keeping senior lovers together at home, and can tailor a care plan that can be expanded or scaled back based on the needs of the family.

This cupid company's mission is to help senior loves a lifetime live together in the privacy, security and comfort of their own home.

Biblio Concierge Creates Customized Reading Prescriptions

Author: Biblio Concierge
Dateline: Monument, Colorado (MONUMENT, Colo.)  | Mon, 10 Feb 2014

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “More and more people are finding that sifting through thousands of e-reader book titles is proving to be not only time consuming, but less than personally satisfying too. Dr. LeAnna DeAngelo, a Colorado psychologist, may have the answer to alleviate these problems through her newly-launched business, Biblio Concierge - specializing in 'bibliotherapy.'”



ARTICLE:

More and more people are finding that sifting through thousands of e-reader book titles is proving to be not only time consuming, but less than personally satisfying too. Dr. LeAnna DeAngelo, a Colorado psychologist, may have the answer to alleviate these problems through her newly-launched business, Biblio Concierge - specializing in "bibliotherapy."

"Many people, especially women, tell me that they keep their sanity by reading books," says DeAngelo. "So, I started to think about what could be done to help these avid readers custom tailor their reading picks from more than ten thousand titles. A book consultant seemed like the key."

Biblio Concierge offers a comprehensive set of book consulting services that includes a thorough review of past books readers have enjoyed or found helpful, to current interests and reading habits and memories of childhood reading.

Consultations can be done via e-mail, by phone or in person. They can be a one-time deal, or can include multiple consults over the course of months or years.

"It's like having your very own personal assistant who can choose books for you and your favorite bibliophile too," DeAngelo says.

DeAngelo, 51, who specializes in health psychology, read that bibliotherapy is increasingly used by medical professionals in Europe as a holistic, inexpensive treatment to help people with medical or mental health problems.

"I find this idea intriguing, and think the United States relies too much on the expert model and capitalistic notions of health care," she adds.

About four years ago, DeAngelo read about London's "The School of Life" which emphasizes reading and other intellectual pursuits to help people gain fulfillment. Since that time, she has worked to develop her reading consultant business.

"I want to help to open new worlds for people and ensure their free time is quality time," DeAngelo says.

DeAngelo notes that the business concept is in alignment with current business trends: personal services, perhaps slightly more geared toward older people, and addresses the electronic age we live in.

"I love to hold a book in my hand, and do not personally like e-readers, but they are here and I have to accept them. It's a small way for me to help people navigate their way through information overload," she says.

When asked what the driving force behind her book reading consultant business is, she says, "If you embrace reading, you will never go to bed alone again, or be lonely. Whether people seek services for business pursuits, bibliotherapy or just recreational reading, this service will help them to lead richer and fuller lives."

Weekend retreats to the Colorado Mountains that include book discussion groups, visits to nearby independent bookstores and plenty of time for reading and reflection, are also in the works.

About Biblio Concierge:

Biblio Concierge is a business designed to help people find interesting and meaningful reading material custom tailored to their unique needs. Customers can choose standard reading consultations or bibliotherapy services.
