Dominica excluded from US interview waiver programmeDominica News Online - Monday, September 10th, 2018 at 10:45 AM
Dominica is among three countries in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) which were excluded from a United States visa renewal waiver programme.
Under the policy, citizens who reside in the approved countries will not have to travel to Barbados to renew their US visas.
So far, St. Lucia, Grenada and St. Kitts and Nevis have been approved for the waiver in the OECS while Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda and St Vincent and the Grenadines were excluded.
This means that Dominicans who want to renew their US visas must travel to Barbados.
The exclusion is not sitting well with Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan who believes that Dominica was not included because of how the island voted on the Venezuelan issue at the OAS recently.
Dominica supported Venezuela as the US seeks to expel Caracas from the regional body and take other measures against the Spanish speaking country.
"It is punitive because they did not follow the call or instructions of the United States. I assume that there is something perverse about that," Astaphan said on Point F.M-a radio station in Antigua and Barbuda owned by Prime Minister Gaston Browne.
Astaphans said it would be unfair for Dominica to vote against Venezuela, a country that he said has been a loyal friend to the Nature Isle.
"Had it not been for Venezuela, we would have had some serious dislocation in Dominica with the world recession. They helped us. We cannot be ungrateful," he said.
Astaphans said Dominica took the position (to support Venezuela) under serious diplomatic pressure.
He said the US should not punish Dominica because of that.
Meantime Antigua's Prime Minister Browne said over the weekend that it is "a little strange" that the United States excluded Antigua and the two other OECS countries from its visa renewal waiver programme.
In fact, he questioned the decision to grant three OECS states the waiver and not the others.
Prime Minister Browne did not comment on why the US took the position.

Here we go again..people going crazy about a decision that another country took run by another man..like it's the end of the world..GOD spoke..
People everything and everyone has to fail us..I mean everything…Only one will remain true to you if you would let HIM ( JEHOVAH )…And don't matter what man does wether it's in DA or any country around the globe you will ride high above it ….Let man do his do,,set boundaries,,put visas,,etc etc etc..It's just for a little while..Soon the real owner of it all will take over and what's HIS will also be that of HIS children they will be free to move about no such restrictions…
Stop hurting you'll heads about what man is doing..if you're of the world,meaning not a child of GOD, then..that's what you should expect..it's easy ,,just move over,, join HIS family and experience peace that surpasses all understanding,,and joy that the world could at no time give to you..And rightfully speaking that there,that's what the world knows…
The actual error was to accept aid from the Chavez dictatorship at the time.
Morality should have prevailed.
Only 2 carribean islands have voted in favour of the dictatorship at the OAS session : DA and St Vincent ; they should have, at least, abstain themselves, like many others
Tony is right, this has a lot to do with our dealings with Venezuela. Our country's name along with those of Antigua and St. Vincent were put on record in US senate hearing discussing the issues of the Venezuela crisis. We were put on record as list of small island states obstructing the US's agenda in bringing about a solution to the crisis, also a note was made of the fact that those countries on that list also 'coincidentally' benefit from Venezuela's subsidized oil program under Petro Caribe.
Also the US considers Venezuela a failed state and a security threat, there are even reports of people with terrorist connections making their way through Venezuela, with all the corruption going on starting from the very top, individuals with nefarious motives are using that country as a port of entry on their way to the US.
Put all those factors together. Maybe some of you with half a brain can figure out what's going on. You might even figure out what's coming next.
"Astaphans said it would be unfair for Dominica to vote against Venezuela, a country that he said has been a loyal friend to the Nature Isle."
My friend committed murder, but since he is a loyal friend, it would be unfair for me to condemn his actions.
-That right there sums up the moral compass of our government and its agents.
"Meantime Antigua's Prime Minister Browne said over the weekend that it is "a little strange" that the United States excluded Antigua and the two other OECS countries from its visa renewal waiver programme.:
Well if he was paying attention to american politics these are the same countries that senator Rubio mentioned when he said that it's strange that only those countries along with countries like Nicaragua and Bolivia are the ones voting against the OAS decisions – strange because those are the only countries receiving subsidized oil from Venezuela.
So it goes both ways. When the governments of these countries decided to side with a corrupt and authoritarian regime they chose to put their countries at risk of international repercussions. Let's just hope that this is as far as it goes and we don't end up getting sanctioned as well.
What's the issue here Tony? Skerritt ordered his diplomats to vote in favor of Venezuela, so the US reserves the right to exclude Dominica. While Dominicans will be impacted, all Skerritt's children are born in America and don't need a visa to travel there. BUT THEY LOVE THEIR PM. sak sort!
Well now we know that the US is aiming for the Gov't of Da for its corrupt practices over the many years. All the criminals that they have been associated with are now coming home to roost.
How comes is Tony that is responding to this sanction from the US? When it was the P.M of Antigua who responded for them?
Dominicans there are so many signs that this Skerrit and Tony lead administration do not care about us ,so tell me what we are waiting for to kick them out of office?
Skerrit must go for Dominica to develop. !
The only reason behind this decision,is very simple
1. Dominica does not have a stable economy
2. Due to the struggle with all the hurricanes etc migration is a problem as people are desperate
3: Dominica has poor relationship with the US. And so we are not a priority
4.The cloud of corruption is hanging over our heads
5: we are not recognized as a due deligence country
6. As long as this government is operating in dark affairs ,including selling of passports.
7 . They will require an interview to remove the weeds from the grass ,since we have sown some bad seeds in non reputable countries , now go Figure.
The world is global .
…….Applicants who acquired Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship via an economic citizenship program and all third country nationals will still be required to schedule visa interviews for visa renewals. Eligibility for interview waiver does not automatically entitle applicants to a waiver of the interview requirement. Meeting the general qualifications for visa renewal interview waiver does not guarantee that an applicant will not be requested to present him or herself in person for an interview at the Embassy.
I was sure that bit of American pathetic crap would of get all so-called workers crocodiles and bafoons out to play. For a start our country Dominica did the right thing not voting against our loyal friend Venezuela. And don't let America bully us well done Dominica let them go to hell. Like wise America would never agree to stand against Israel for anyone in this world, let that be a lesson to you pathetic idiots, Francisco said Dominica has the most stupid people in the Caribbean Iam 100%sure he was referring to workers idiotic party and supporters.
ElizabethLinaXavier September 10, 2018
@Man bites dogs
And that would include he, Francisco himself.
"Let them go to hell" Right let all those Venezuelans suffering and dieing everyday and having to flee their own country, yes let them go to hell so we can support a few corrupt government ministers so our own corrupt government can get rich while we suffer for it. Sheep like you deserve to be fleeced.
So now that Ross is gone, maybe we should ask that Americans apply for Visas to come here. Then again we are not a highly coveted destination. If we were a high end country with excellent services and amenities coupled with flawless infrastructure and superstructure to compliment, like St Barths or one of those places that the rich and famous frequent because it is mostly accessible to THEM, not just the cruise and back pack tourist en mass, then this would make sense. but as we stand now, i suppose we have no choice but to let Americans walk all over us. they will come when they want, how they want to Dominica, but we have to cry and scrunt like dogs to enter their S#!t hole country. DOminica needs to refine its product and image and aura. This is not about politics or a personal attack, it is about this country and how it is seen by others and the advantages and disadvantages of such. Also, i agree that we should have stood by Venezuela, because they have always stood by us.
Is our support of Venezuela a dogma, and we must support it at all cost, even when their leadership makes life so hard foru its people.? Or should we support what is best for most people? You are entitled to change your mind you know,. That is democracy. Blind obedience and dogma are not.
Blind obedience? America will not even help Puerto Rico, Venezuela even if they are facing hardship right now as we speak was able to assist us after Maria and Erica. To this day the current president denies climate change and is doing everything to encourage fossil fuel and coal use. america doesnt like Venezuela mostly because they cannot control Venezuela's resources, its not about how its citizens are treated, because if that was the case why dont they have an issue with the African countries where there is much corruption? Dogma refers to religion. I am not religious as it is better to know than believe. DOminica as it stands needs to stop acting like a little helpless country and start taking its rightful place by producing and elevating its standard all across the board. Why do you think other islands are more respected? meanwhile we are not? why do you think other islands are preferred? meanwhile we are not even known or heard of in many instances. This place has no…
Just listen to you. Your heart is evil. Do you know how many scholarships, and aid we have gotten from Venezuela over the years. What has the US done for us.
You walk on the roads, go to the hospitals, send your kids to school if you have all because of aid we have gotten from Venezuela. Should we turn our backs on them now.
SMH at some of the comments in here.
"What has the US done for us"??????
The U.S. has done exponentially more for Dominica/Dominicans than Venezuela ever has or ever will. Count the number of Dominicans who have gained/are gaining their livelihood in the U.S. or have been educated there. Then calculate the economic benefits that accrue to Dominicans due to their U.S education and/or employment. Further, calculate the benefits that accrue directly to Dominica from U.S.-based Dominicans by way of financial remittances, ambassadorship, disaster assistance, etc, etc. Now please revisit your statement and amend as necessary.
You are the one who is evil or ignorant. The monies that we receive from Venezuela belongs to Venezuela and the Venezuelan people. The OAS and the US is at odds with Maduro and their corrupt authoritarian regime descended from Chavez.
Who do you think is Venezuela? Less than 50 people in government or the millions of people suffering everyday because of the incompetence and corruption of those few people. If we truly want to repay Venezuela for what we have received we should support the people of Venezuela and the ideals of right to liberty and well being enshrined in their constitution, a constitution that has been absolutely violated by those currently in power.
I think many folks do not understand the difference between state and party. The state of Venezuela assisted Dominica (to their detriment, their economy is now in shambles) Its not Maduro or Chavez. In Dominica the state assists individuals; not DLP or PM or ministers. Now if the individuals who manages state affairs are doing things that are wrong; one should stand by what is right and just. Many people have allegiance to party because they got a scholarship or some form of aid. They are being told don't bite the hand that feeds them. Nonsense! If one is in an abusive relationship; because financial needs are being met; one should say, I have to stay i can't bite the hand that feeds me?
Little Tony needs to stop believing that we intelligent Dominican are sitting in his playpen with him playing with his little toys. We need to understand that for a decision to be made in our favour, Dominica needs to change many of its operations. There needs to be a clear path of honest dealing. Therefore cleansing the system, and coming clean could be our best option. Why do you think Antigua is not responding, he is clever. So PM need to tell little tony shut up, and continue in is little world playing with his little toys.
One day we will get up and realize that Skerrit, Tony and the DLP have placed us in a very, very, very deep and dark holes by ourselves that we, the friends of Skerrit will become his greatest enemies but it will be too late. Skerrit andTony will use the name of the DLP to destroy Dominica just to try to save Skerrit but at the end of the exercise Roosevelt Skerrit will NOT be saved from the inevitable, no matter where he makes his bed and, sadly he is taking Dominica down there with him. The removal of Ross University was just a warning of the dangers ahead.
Anon September 10, 2018
We followed America like a bunch of fools when Mamo was PM, the US used her as face to invade Grenada. What did Dominica get for its support for America? The destruction of the vital banana industry. Former PM Edison James referred to the US as economic terrorist, as he watched them destroy our banana industry to satisfy the interest of American companies like Dole and Chiquita. America always puts America first but fools like you believe that America has the right to bully other countries into supporting their greedy agenda. So continue to blame Skeritt for America's greed. There are countries that require Americans to have a visa to enter their country, Brazil is one of those countries, Dominicans don't require a visa to visit Brazil. It seems that Dominica is the home of too many Uncle Toms and Auntie Toms
If the U,S, destroyed our banana industry please explain why St. Lucia, also an OECS member and close neighbour manages to sell its Fair Trade bananas in U.K. supermarkets at a premium as I speak? I bought some in Waitrose today and saw the same fruits in Marks & Spencer yesterday. I wish the promotional tag had said Dominica, but unfortunately that is a distant memory.
Anon, you see how stupid you are?
Eugenia Charles, at he request of the other newly independent islands, Antigua St. Kitts St. Lucia, beg Reagan to send the Marines in to kill the Cubans whom Bernard brought into Grenada to help consolidate his communists power.
The United States had to invade Grenada to get the American Medical School Students which were studying in Grenada at the time. Before you think of telling a lie you need to realize some of us who knows what happened, are still alive!
Reagan may not have sent the U. S Marines if Eugenia did not ask for his help. For you information I saw Eugenia interviewed on Nation wide Television with her black bag under her arm, which she eventually set on the grown, her eyes blinking fast. When ask why she request help from Reagan; her reply was:
"When we saw all these big Russian brass coming down to Grenada we had to do something!" Shut up man you are flawed!
In your crystal ball you seeing a deja vu? Akin to when we woke up to a visa restriction to enter Canada?
You remember the cause to that effect? You remember the Government/party that was responsible?
Don't try to wish bad on the country.
According to Henley Passport Index we have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 122 countries and territories: a vast increase in the last few years.
We have gone through enough already. It is evident that our brighter days are ahead,
Anon September 10, 2018
Give it a break, St. Vincent does not have a CBI program and they were not included. St. Kitts a major player in the sale of passports is also under US sanctions is included. As a matter of fact all three countries, Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Kitts are involved in the sale of passports. America continued to scatter crumbs and the hungry fowls come running. Why didn't America give these three islands visa free access to the US. There is not one black country in the world that has visa free access to the US.
Your insinuation of idea that foreign governments obtain their intelligence from the media exposes your limited scope of policy and diplomatic affairs. Smarten up my people.
This implicit bias among our nationals is one of the primary reasons why our brightest and capable minds are not currently leading our nation!
The same way Skerritt does not give attention to constituencies like Marigot and Salisbury which didn't vote for his party and yet Tony doesn't have anything much to say about this injustice. The US is free to decide who it's close friends are and give them preferential treatment, but Skerritt is not at liberty to use Dominica tax dollars and punish communities which he deems as hostile. So what did Tony and Skerritt expect when they thump their noses at the USA? You ought to know what's coming at the back of that. Skerritt once he isn't the prime minister any more will be made to feel the effect of international law. Mark my words.
But why is this senior idiot always the one who speaks for Skerrit? Is Skerrit Moo Moo? I know that he Skerrit is a dotard,but who voted for this Astaphan clown? and Did Astaphan eat or drink something when he was young, that's causing him to be mad now? ..It's only in Dominica that leadership is so disgraceful.An idiot as PM and a senior clown his mouthpiece.
The USA is looking at you all,and I am happy about that
Later will be greater
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
Lazy Skerrit Must Go Now
When we don't hear we Must feel. We have been ignoring all the dangerous signs of Skerrit' and did nothing so now we will feel. But Tony Astaphan has his luxurious house for his family in Florida while Skerrit'has his Condo in NY and his children are Americans. It's more poor people s children that will feel it but then again their head too harf
The United States probably does not want any nefarious undesirable non real Dominica people carrying Dominican passports sneaking in. How many people from the middle east are carrying Dominica passports who have never been to Dominica or know where the island is in the world? Does the Prime minister know? That's what happens when anyone with the right amount of Cash and lady daddy and everybody can get a passport for the right price, Dominica for sale. Does Tony Astaphan have an explanation?
Who cannot hear will feel. Let lazy, incompetent ,dunce,inarticulate Skerrit believe that he can play with the mighty USA ..I am so elated that the USA has had Dominica under the radar.This I am sure did not start recently .All the unknown trips abroad,to place unknown is surely known by the USA.The appropriate time to answer questions is around the corner .
Ross Gone
Travel to Barbados,those who want to fight the USA.
Skerrit knows why Skerrit will do anything to remain in power!!!
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
Lazy Skerrit Must Go Now
The senior clown should tell us the reason and not jump to conclusion. I doubt very much it is about Venezuela. It aint just about passport cuz SKN selling passport. Its the lack of accountability in everything we do including the selling of passport to all and sundry mostly criminals. Why don't senior clown shut up.
WTF appointed or elected Tony Astaphans to speak on Dominica behalf. Why does tony not shut his trap. Punitive behavior is what has been happening in Dominica for past 16 years. Its amazing he brings up Venezuela. Loom at where they are right now. They must be fools because thier people suffering and what have we done to help? Absolutely nothing. What kind of friends are we when now that they are in hard times we do absolutely nothing. Tony only opens his mouth to defend skerrit because he knows skerrit destructive behavior is money in he tony Astaphans bank account. Guess who pays? Dominican tax payers. Labour party supporters are poor dependants so they dont pay taxes and could care less. You want to wine and dine with all thieves and dictators and expect not to be scrutinised. Dominicans need to do what is right and get this gov out before the bottom drops off.
It is really because they are incompetent, don't seem to be seen as credible on the world stage. Questions for these leaders as they are watched carefully by their own people as the respective islands, especially Domininca is seen corrupt with corrupt leaders and government in power and overstayed their welcome.
Our island Domininca is a state of disrepair as long as Skerrit and his worthless 18 ministers are in office. We are as poor and deprived as Haiti is today.
Skerrit must Go…Get ost
"The exclusion is not sitting well with Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan who believes that Dominica was not included because of how the island voted on the Venezuelan issue at the OAS recently."
Tony boy, that is what happens when the when the little fry's and sprats get in the way of sharks and whales! The eaten. Dominica is always on the wrong side of the equation, Skerrit and his government dislike the United States, and the Government of the United States policies against dictatorship!
As a result we keep supporting the wrong!
You can talk as much as you wish Tony; your voice, nor Roosevelt voice; nor the bogus so called Dominica ambassador to the United States voice are not heard in America, there is nothing said in Dominica about the issue that will make a difference.
Skerrit friend Scotland told you to suck salt, that is one way you all are sucking salt now!
America recognize Dominica dictatorship!
They dislike the US but and yet they bring their wife there to give birth to their children so they can have citizenship. They don't hate the US,, they love Venezuelan corrupt oil money. So they will say and whatever they have to say and do to get it even if it means more difficulty for the ordinary Dominica. At the end of the day when we struggling to get a visa just to visit the US some of them can go their without visa on their second citizenship while their offspring have full citizen rights.
So others are 'pretty' but not Haitians who look like Dominicans. So why don't you go and live where the 'pretty' Ones are. It's Morons like you that accept all kinds of vermin to walk all over you and treat you like dirt simply because they don't look like you, and you worship them as your lord and master.
Astaphan, you see yours and your masters rogue politics are coming to hunt the ordinary citizens of Dominica now. They will ultimately pay the bill! By the way, it's not only the Venezuela vote but it's also the way Skerrit handles the passport sales. Furthermore his constant negative utterings against the USA and Europe for that matter have not gone unheard.
By the way, the reason Skerrit had to vote in favour of the government of Venezuela had ultimately very little to do of being old friends but rather that Maduro has Skerrit in his hands because he knows exactly what happened to the US$100 Mio. that had to be written off.
Let us be honest with ourselves and not approach this discussion with preconceived notions. However, let us ask the pointed questions of our elected officials and not give wings to the ignorant utterances of the Senior CLOWN. The questions we should ask are 1. Is there a document from the US pointing out the reasons for the denial? 2. If yes, why not make it available via the print media and social media? 3. If no, did their reasoning have any relationship to the CBI program and it's aiding fugitives and criminals in evading authorities? 4. Why were the other countries approved and how did they vote? 5. Who represented Dominica at the forum and were they instructed which way to vote and by whom? 6. Is this a silent warning to Dominicans residing in the US that they should not participate in the Dominican election?
I am sure that Venezuela was generous with their Petrocaribe programme but I have never seen the benefits of this for the general public. Our electricity costs , generated with supposedly "cheap" Venezuelan oil, are the highest in the region. Those who benefited from that deal will know but it certainly was not me.
What did we in Dominica really benefited from the Petro Caribe deal? Were the monies use for the betterment of all Dominica?
Dominicans paid the same prices for their products as it was on the market in Dominica, although we were promised that they would have been cheaper.
We were given USD 100 Million Dollars for the deal but what became of that money? Only after Hurricane Maria, we knew but no answer or explanation has been given thus far.
I am really struggling to see what good came out of Petro Caribe dear for Dominica except it made a few people really rich and left the rest of us still in poverty.
The USA has always been looking out for their own interest, so you cannot blame them and when we (Dominica) have a government – one man – that is working against the US Interest, what do you expect to come out of it.
Well if you ask me, this is exactly what to expect and I am afraid to say that there is still more to come so we better brace up.
Don't be stupid; what world recession are you talking about?
When there is a recession in a some countries, in other nations their economy do not see any such thing. In 2008 or there about when the Real Estate Industry collapse in America, it only had a slight effect on England, I will not state the reason because it is not my duty to educate stupid people.
However, that was not an International recession.
While millions of people lost their jobs in the United States, there were many more millions employed generating revenue Federal and local treasury. You guys need to worry about Dominica's economy; I can tell you the sale of passports, and in recent months parrots is not going to cut it.
Dominica under Skerrit is in permanent recession; the worst under Skerrit is yet to come!
What you term world wide recession might be self-imposed austerity; know the difference! Obama knew how to take America out of the recession: Can Skerrit do the same for Dominica?
Tony is spinning as usual. It is likely not just the Venezuela issue at play. It is likely that Dominica's well-known tendency to give passports to nefarious characters is also at play. Further, it was also short-sighted and diplomatically silly to get into a pissing contest with the US. Who exactly are these geniuses developing our foreign policy?
I am going to tell you something unless you are a fake Linton, I know you are my cousin too, but you are making yourself a bloody fool! America has not done you anything!
For your information, there are more crimes in Dominica per capita than in America. There is also more drugs in Dominica than in America; how can this be you ask? Think in terms of the size of Dominica, the population; and when talking about the population, think in terms of "per capita!
I am from Wesley my grandmother the late was Lennox Linton; father aunt. America has become my home for almost forty years; drugs has never come close to me, never mind to become a user of any illegal substance.
Stop hating a country and people who could well help you out of your misery!
Stop being foolish!
Roosevelt Children are American Born.
Blame Roosevelt Skerrit for this recent action against our country by the State Department, and the Donald Trump administration!
@original Mahaut Man
well as long as you there legal and documented you have nothing to fear from Trump. If you're undocumented though sorry for you though some will still escape. Trump is not a dictator. Dictators are people like Maduro, Chavez and Castro. Ask yourself why is in America you are right now and not Venezuela or Cuba.
Guy there is a vast difference between a racists, a bigot, and a dictator. Now we know Donald Trump to be trash!
He is a racists, and a liar; however a dictator he is not!
And By the way I am a Naturalized American citizen; I cannot be deported from America ever; if I commit a crime of any kind even treason, I will be punished the same as an American born; I hope after 31 years you are in the same category as I am.
I know people from Wesley in New York: the time when I met them they were still illegal living in New York for almost forty years too. I hope you are not like some who live in fear of what will happen if caught by the immigration anytime soon. We see everyday people who's children are born here, their wife's are American citizen, yet they get deported!
They are classified as undocumented.
"The exclusion is not sitting well with Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan who believes that Dominica was not included because of how the island voted on the Venezuelan issue at the OAS recently."
Y'll doing things for y'll personal relationships and not how it benefits the Dominicans. It will, be beneficial to us all if we have better relationships with the US, Jobs, Healthcare, Entertainment but no… stuff venezeuela down our throats.
Wake up People, to go to Barbados is pocket change for these people, and we, the poor man that is a big money for us and we can still NOT get it, where as people like Tony, Francine Baron, Skerrit will never be denied a US Visa, realize that the government is NOT working for your best interest.

Chestnut Hill has long been known for the number and quality of our volunteers for worthy causes — churches, charities, protecting the fragile environment, historic preservation, non-profit organizations, aiding victims of tragedies, etc. There could not be too many married couples, however, who have logged more hours over many years on behalf of their community than Leah and Herbert Riband.
Leah was recently honored for 30 years worth of volunteer work for the Highlands, a 44-acre historic site that includes an 18th century Georgian mansion and two-acre formal garden at 7001 Sheaff Lane in Fort Washington. And Herbert was recently honored for over 15 years of volunteer work for the Pennsylvania of Academy of Fine Arts. In addition, Leah and Herb have belonged to multiple clubs, boards and organizations throughout their lifetimes.
"I first started volunteering when we lived in Springfield Township," said Leah, 73, in a recent interview. She was a Girl Scout leader who was eventually placed in charge of all Girl Scout troops in Springfield Township as neighborhood chairman. At the Highlands, Leah was president and vice-president in charge of garden restoration. While there, she branched off and started a school of traditional rug hooking that lasted 15 years.
Leah has also run a doggy day camp and at one point was active in the Outdoor Gardeners' Club, which meets at the Chestnut Hill Presbyterian Church; she managed to hold every major post in the club. Leah recently joined St. Thomas Episcopal Church and volunteers for their community outreach program (naturally), which entertains and involves city youth and parents with activities such as hayrides.
Leah earned a B.S. in Nursing from St. Mary's College at Notre Dame University. She performed various nursing jobs including working at St. Joseph's Villa as well as Wissahickon Hospice. Her final job before retirement was for the state of Pennsylvania as a test administrator for nursing aid certification.
Herb signed up for the U.S. Army Reserves in 1959, which began with six months of active duty right after graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in History, followed by seven years of active reserve duty. In 1960 Herb began his studies at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and eventually found work at Saul Ewing LLP, where he would remain for his entire career.
Herb soon became embroiled in a controversy involving Carson Valley School in Flourtown. At that time Girard College was fighting a community effort to continue to exclude African-American students from their school. "Girard College was created 'for poor white male orphans' (according to the will of wealthy Colonial-era financier Stephen Girard). Most of the other orphanages in the area, including Carson, were modeled on Girard College's all-white policy," said Herb, 75, who explained that while Girard College trustees where fighting in court to continue their exclusion of African-Americans, Carson Valley trustees where trying to open up their school to African-Americans and other minorities.
"My senior partner wanted me to write a legal memo to support them," said Herb, who wrote the memo, which literally helped Carson Valley School to admit African-Americans into the school for the first time in 1967. Similar orphanages throughout the area eventually followed suit.
Due to his position as a trust and estates lawyer at Saul Ewing LLP for his entire adult life, Herbert came into contact with many charitable and other non-profit organizations. For example, Herb directed the choir at St. Genevieve's Church throughout the 1960s and became a substantial contributor to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he currently serves as Vice-Chairman of the Board. "We find it hard to turn down worthy causes, and there are loads of worthy causes around," Herb explained.
Herb and Leah Riband have never sought or received any kind of compensation for their decades of volunteering for countless organizations; they have done it out of the goodness of their hearts. They consider it a privilege rather than a duty. There was no one particular catalyst for their dedication.
"It just sort of happened," explained Leah. "With all volunteer opportunities, someone needs to come forward, and both of us have willingly done that. It was just something that came out of our hearts, really."
Herb continues to be involved as Vice-Chair of the Board at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He's also on the advisory council of the Penn Health Systems Institute For Diabetes. He has joined St. Thomas Episcopal Church as well, and he continues to serve as a co-trustee of the Robert Carson Trust at Carson Valley School. "If you believe in a cause, roll up your sleeves and try to help. Do something to advance the cause," he said.
Leah works with St. Thomas Church on the hospitality committee. "I'm still in my garden club, but not holding any posts at the moment. You just sort of keep on going until you find something else to do."
Herb values his time with the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, citing his membership on the board since 1977. "I'm very proud of working for that organization, which is really now one of the most dynamic forces in the Philadelphia area and in the arts."
While Leah and Herb are grateful for their respective recent honors at the Highlands and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, they remain humble. Leah was born in Hammond, Indiana, and Herb grew up in Philadelphia. They met on a blind date at St. Mary's College. They have been married for 52 years and have three children: Herbert, who lives with his wife and two children in Switzerland; Anthony, who is married and teaches in the Upper Moreland School District; and Rosemarie, a Syracuse University graduate who tragically died in an automobile accident at 24.

GIGABYTE has announced the addition of two new AMD EPYC compute nodes to their RACKLUTION-OP line. These new products are based on the Open Compute Project's Open Rack Standards, a set of open source hardware design guidelines originally created by Facebook then adapted into an open source project in 2011. The TO22-Z61 and TO22-Z62 feature dual AMD EPYC Naples processor sockets for compute nodes with high core counts and memory capacity. The new models have flexible storage options (including all flash or mixed SATA / SAS + flash), up to 3 additional PCIe expansion slots, and each node can fit into a three bay, 2OU tray.

Training your dog is challenging and instilling discipline and correction can be an exhausting experience for both you and your happy-tail-wagging-friend. Einstein makes it easy and safe with their ET-800A E-Collar, a durable wireless electronic e-collar which acts as a tool to help reinforce commands your dog has already learned. From the included accessories and controller to the e-collar and foam lined case, the entirety of the ET-800A kit reflects pure quality. The controller is well thought out and is designed to be ergonomic, fitting right in the palm of your hand allowing your fingers to easily access and adjust the multiple functions which have been integrated into the remote.
The e-collar weighs in at about .44 pounds (7.1 oz.), while the controller comes in at .27 pounds (4.3 oz.), easily supporting dogs 20 pounds and up. A convenient lanyard is included with the kit so the controller can hang around your neck for easy reach. Featuring up to a 3/4 mile range, the ET-800A also provides many other technological features that include COS (control of stimulation) technology, which is a very clean, fully adjustable (0-100 range) electronic stimulation that prevents the kind of head jerking brought on by other electronic collars. There are two methods of training: Continuous correction and Momentary correction. When the "C" button is pressed on the controller, a continuous pulsating streaming of electronic shock is delivered and when "M" is pressed, a quick-momentary electronic shock is delivered. Settings can be locked into place by pushing down the stimulation adjustment knob. When both "C" and "M" buttons are pressed together in unison, the e-collar will send a boosted stimulation that is 25 levels higher than the current set level. This function allows for a quick response during training sessions. When the "T" button is pressed, an audible warning tone is administered. When the "T" brand is held for more than 1.25 seconds, an audible warning tone is administered followed by electronic correction. This feature encourages further discipline during training sessions.
The e-collar unit also provides an onboard LED status light that can also operate as a blinking or continuous nightlight. In addition, the ET-800A is waterproof up to 500 feet, shock resistant to 5000Gs, and is rechargeable requiring no changing of batteries. Electronic correction as well as the audible tone and nightlight can all be activated wirelessly from up to 3/4 of a mile, making it ideal for large properties and broad rural areas. The ET-800A is a complete kit and features accessories such as interchangeable contact points (5/8 inch and 3/4 inch lengths), an LED test light for contact point testing, a contact point removal tool, and a lanyard. The collar itself is made of Biothane and can be easily trimmed with scissors to custom fit your dog.
Einstein encourages that high levels of stimulation only be used as a last resort and in life-threatening situations. The ET-800A E-collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours per day due to skin irritation. It is recommended to recharge the ET-800A every six months when not in use. On average, most dogs first react to stimulation between levels 15 and 40. Though the range of the ET-800A is up to 3/4 of a mile, it can vary depending on interferences between the controller and the receiver.

Much in the tradition of the Postal Service, Chestnut Hill's Woodmere Art Museum was undaunted by the previous weekend's massive snowstorms in New England. Although its originally scheduled classical artists, the Trio Cleonice, were snowbound in Boston, Woodmere's Noel Hanley managed to contact the right people in the local classical music community to arrange for replacements to perform a full-scale recital Sunday afternoon, Feb. 10.
And so an enthusiastic audience heard violinist Elissa Lee Koljonen and pianist Natalie Zhu perform Mozart's "Sonata for Piano & Violin No. 18 in G major," Brahms' "Sonata for Violin & Piano No. 1 in G major," Ysaye's "Sonata No. 2 for Solo Violin," "Obsession," the Meditation from Massenet's opera, "Thais," arranged for violin & piano, and Ravel's "Tzigane" for violin & piano. I felt that this was one cloud that offered a decidedly silver lining.
Koljonen's finest playing was heard in Eugene Ysaye's "Obsession" Sonata. She placed the score's recurring references to either scores by Bach or the famous "Dies Irae" Gregorian chant theme within the context of the composer's string of thematic explorations. Her ability to project the broadest range of dynamics was impressive.
Her collaboration with Zhu was equally memorable in the Brahms. They caught the dramatic development of the first movement, the warm lyricism of the second and the boldness of the third in playing that was technically peerless and interpretively powerful.
The Mozart Sonata that opened the program was less successfully played, perhaps because Koljonen's modern metal-strung violin proved itself unsuited to the clear textures and short phrases that characterize the music. Perhaps Kojonen's playing in the Mozart would have been more stylistically appropriate had she used a gut-strung violin and Zhu played Woodmere's modern Kawai with the lid down. Both players managed to transcend the tacky sentimentality of the Massenet and offer all the tartness of the Ravel.
A Germantown "resident" played an integral part in Choral Arts Philadelphia's performance of Rossini's rarely heard "Petite Messe Solennelle" Saturday, Feb. 9, in St. Mark's Episcopal Church, center city. The "resident" was not human but rather a vintage Bosendorfer grand piano lent to Choral Arts by Germantown's Cunningham Piano Company.
Sadly, the Bosendorfer was more interesting than a good deal of the Rossini music it accompanied, producing a more intimate tone than a contemporary instrument might have been able to convey.
Composed in 1863, decades after Rossini had retired from composing the comic operas that had made him both rich and famous and living a mostly secluded life in Paris, the "Little Solemn Mass" is one of those scores whose inconsistent quality perfectly explains why it's rarely programmed. It's not particularly noteworthy in purely musical terms because neither its themes nor what Rossini does with them is memorable.
Choral Arts' rendition didn't do the score any favor by imposing on it a performance style of singing typical of a full century before the work was written, as though anyone was still singing mostly straight tone without vibrato during the decade when Verdi composed his massive "Aida." The result was a prissiness that robbed the music of even mild amusement. And while there is a certain authenticity to using Rossini's original accompaniment of piano and harmonium, the resultant sameness of instrumental color became more than a little boring.
Choral Arts' music director, Matthew Glandorf, deserves credit for searching out less frequently programmed parts of the choral repertoire and leading a well-intended performance, but surely there are finer examples of unfairly forgotten scores than this one.
Seeming a bit sprier than he did two weekends ago, Rafael Frubeck de Burgos conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra in a program that included Carl Orff's ever-popular "Carmina Burana" in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. I caught the Saturday, Feb. 16, performance and came away mightily impressed by the German/Spanish maestro's physical stamina and mental acuity; he led the sprawling score by memory! Frubeck de Burgos elicited thrilling performances from the Philadelphians, the Philadelphia Singers Chorale and the American Boychoir.

In its 15th year, OSC's Summer Institute (SI) 2003 was a success for all involved: student participants, returning student helpers, OSC and Advanced Computing Center for the Arts & Design (ACCAD) staff! Everyone who participated can take credit for the great outcome of SI2003 and its rewards.
Students gained an increase in computer science knowledge, new friendships, an enhanced ability to work on a team, a unique opportunity to use state-of-the-art supercomputers, and exposure to campus life. Students left SI2003 with a greater confidence in their individual learning abilities and their ability to adapt while working and living in a new environment with new friends of similar interests.

Students worked together in four teams on four diverse and challenging projects. Teams were comprised of a project leader (staff member who conceived and designed the project), students in the project group, a student leader (in charge of dividing project tasks), and a high school teacher. Teachers worked on the projects just like the students. Teams choose from the following projects: Mechanical Engineering, Parallel Processing, Neural Networks, and VRML/Motion Capture.
The Mechanical Engineering project consisted of modeling the stress response of cars and the impact upon their passengers (crash dummies) upon impact. The students built the cars with a finite element model with the Altair Hyperworks software package.

The Parallel Processing project was designed mainly to teach the parallel processing language needed to split up a problem and assign different tasks to different processors. Their parallel code was run on supercomputers containing 128 and 256 separate processors. They simulated the genetic evolution of organisms using random gene mutations, mating, survival, and conflict. The parallel processing allowed simulation of 30,000 generations in just one hour.

In its second year, the Neural Network project combined planning, computer programming, image processing, and Artificial Neural Network pattern recognition techniques. The group of three students and two teachers first were given tools they needed to complete their project: they learned the C programming language and the basic principles of Artificial Neural Networks, specifically, the mathematical equations and steps used in a pattern learning technique known as "Feed Forward Training" and those used in an error reducing algorithm known as "Back Error Propagation." The students built an application capable of pattern recognition that works in ways very similar to how neurons in the human brain interact in learning. The group wrote a program that recognized only the letters in one of the group member's name, 'T' 'o' 'n' 'y'. To verify later that the program worked, several other SI attendees provided samples of their 'T' 'o' 'n' and 'y' to be tested against the neural network trained only to recognize Tony's handwriting. To accomplish this task, the group broke into two teams; one team wrote the C code, the other took writing samples and processed the images. Once work from both teams was completed, they collaborated to train the network and test it with their samples. The project was successful since the neural network only slightly recognized others' handwriting as Tony's

The VRML / MOCAP project gave the group the opportunity to work in the high tech Motion Capture Laboratory at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design. The project team scripted a short story about a tour through a haunted house. The environment involved the exterior and interior of the house. The keyframes of the story were rigorously defined. In the MOCAP Lab one team member wore a special suit, which had 41 reflecting balls attached at critical points of the body. This one actor performed all the motions for all the characters. 14 specially designed cameras captured the action of the reflective balls. The position of the individual reflective balls was calculated and placed in virtual space. The team designed the haunted house using VRML. Other programming tools were used to put the marker positions in the house. The marker locations were then associated with a character, a skeleton, which jumped out during the tour.

The other day I posted about the Brom-upuan, the locally-made prototype child bike seat for my Brompton. I finally got to test it with my 20-month old daughter, Bea.
First things first, I did not have a hard time convincing my toddler to sit on the saddle. Not at all. She actually rode Brom-upuan like it was made for her (it was, actually, but don't tell her that). Anyway, Bea instinctively placed her feet on the footrest, held on to my bike's handlebar grips, and then we biked around our village.
I think Bea enjoyed the ride on the Brom-upuan. She was always pointing at something. She pointed at the cars. She pointed at the dog. And she pointed at the cat. Which brings me to my first concern. The Bromp-upuan does not have its own handlebar for the child rider. The child has to hold on to the adult biker's handlebar, which could be dangerous, especially during sudden turns. But this isn't the sole problem of the Bromp-upuan, as the IT Chair--the product it was based on, also does not provide for a separate handlebar.
My second concern is also on safety. Unlike the iBert Child Bike Seat where the child rider is cocooned in a protective shell and strapped in seatbelts, the child rider on the Brom-upuan is left out in the open. I worried that my daughter could easily slip off the seat at each stroke of the pedal. I had to remind her to stay on the seat and to hold on to the handlebar.
My third concern is again on safety. I don't feel the Brom-upuan is securely fastened to the Brompton. Sure, there's a clamp on the seatpost, but the clamp on the toptube is unsecured. I worry that if I hit a bump on the road, the clamp would come loose and send my daughter hurling to the pavement. This lower clamp thing really should be addressed in the future.
After having said that, I still like the Bromp-upuan. Hey, my daughter enjoys riding on it so I'm happy. I would not, however, use it outside the village and faster than 12 kph. I don't think it's safe and stable enough. At least for a 2 year old who can easily fall off the seat. Maybe I'd use it in a CMR or outside the village when Bea is older, like 3 or something. As for now, it'll be leisurely rides around our street.
Thanks again to Ariel and his welders for fabricating this father-daughter bonding contraption. Cheers, guys!

Irene the Great Martyr
May 5
Saint Irene was the daughter of a princelet called Licinius; named Penelope by her parents, through a divine revelation she was brought to faith in Christ and at Baptism was renamed Irene. In her zeal for piety she broke in pieces all the idols of her father, who commanded that she be trampled underfoot by horses. But while she remained unharmed, one of the horses rose up and cast down her father, killing him. By her prayer she raised him to life again, and he believed and was baptized. Afterwards, in many journeyings, Saint Irene suffered torments and punishments for her faith, but was preserved by the power of God, while working dread miracles and converting many thousands of souls. At last she came to Ephesus, where she fell asleep in peace, in the first half of the fourth century. Two days after her death, her gravestone was found lifted off, and her grave empty. At least two churches were dedicated to Saint Irene in Constantinople, and she is also the patroness of the Aegean island of Thera, which is commonly called Santorin (or Santorini), a corruption of "Saint Irene."
Apolytikion of Great Martyr Irene
Fourth Tone
O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice: O my Bridegroom, Thee I love; and seeking Thee, I now contest, and with Thy baptism am crucified and buried. I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee; for Thy sake I die, that I may live in Thee: accept me offered out of longing to Thee as a spotless sacrifice. Lord, save our souls through her intercessions, since Thou art great in mercy.
Kontakion of Great Martyr Irene
Third Tone
Being fair adorned before with pure and virginal beauty, thou becamest fairer still in thy brave contest, O virgin; for when thou, in thine own spilt blood, wast stained and reddened, O Irene, thou overthrewest ungodly error. Hence, thou hast received the prizes of thy good vict'ry from thy Creator's right hand.
Blessed Feast Day

It turns out that the same part of your brain that you use to recognize human faces is what you use to recognize the front ends of cars. To your gray matter, headlights really do look like eyes and grills really do look like mouths.
When we see things with facial features, we start forming irrationally emotional attachments to non-sentient objects. Put some eyes on that brick-laying machine we saw today, and you immediately hear its loving voice calling out to you.
This anthropomorphisation has some serious implications for Mazda, whose cars have had some seriously emotive faces over the past half decade. While we were watching the smile fade from the MX-5, BrtStlnd gave thanks, and everyone else piled on him for it. He and our own Matt Hardigree went in a literary direction, but Pessimippopotamus was more car-centric.
I like cars with happy faces. All new cars are angry. Can you name at least 10 cars currently on the market that looks "happy"?
There's a thin line between happy and dorky.
That's fine. As long as they don't all look at me like I raped their sister and killed their mothers.
Given that it's Friday, I'm just going to Photoshop a bunch of angry eyebrows onto new cars. Anyone want to join me in the comments?

Pirates can't hold leads, fall on error in 13th
PITTSBURGH -- Maybe starting pitchers for the Pirates simply are not to get a win. Major League Baseball has passed several new rules for this season. Could that be one of them?

PITTSBURGH -- Maybe starting pitchers for the Pirates simply are not to get a win. Major League Baseball has passed several new rules for this season. Could that be one of them?
If ever Pittsburgh's orphaned rotation was set up to break through, with Jeff Locke as the unlikely benefactor, it was midway through Monday night's game at PNC Park.View Full Game Coverage
The Pirates had a six-run lead after five innings, a perfect combination to unlock the safe housing the first victory by their starter since April 17.
Locke did not get a win. And neither did the Pirates, as the Giants validated a furious comeback by turning pitcher Jean Machi's sacrifice bunt into a 13th-inning unearned run and an 11-10 victory.
This was the Bucs' first game to see both teams score in double figures since July 12, 2008, when the Pirates edged the Cardinals here, 12-11, in 10 innings.
"It was a night we gave it everything we had, and came up one run short at the end," said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who didn't seem to be as shell-shocked as he could have been following a five-hour, 29-minute game lost in uncharacteristic fashion.
Locke was given a hook 65 pitches into the game, five batters into a sixth inning he had begun with an 8-2 lead and having retired 13 straight.
However, he had the National League's fourth-best (by ERA) bullpen behind him. Not on this night; even with Tony Watson and Jeanmar Gomez doing shutout work, all told, six relievers gave up five runs and 12 hits in 7 2/3 innings.
Jared Hughes was the last of those relievers. He issued a one-out walk to Hunter Pence and nicked Juan Perez with a pitch to bring up Machi. Hughes picked up Machi's bunt a few feet in front of the plate and his throw to first skipped by Ike Davis as Pence motored home from second.
"I think the pitcher was a little bit slow reacting to go get the ball," Machi said. "When I saw that I used all the speed that I had and I think we got there almost at the same time, the ball and me."
Witnesses did double-takes upon seeing the 6-foot tall Machi haul his 255 pounds down the line like a lightweight speedster. The surprising speed might have rushed Hughes into the errant throw ... except he was not surprised.
"I played with Machi, in 2009 in Altoona," Hughes said of the former Pirates farmhand, who signed with the Giants as a Minor League free agent prior to the 2011 season. "And he was one of the fastest pitchers on that staff, so I knew he could run. And a good throw still would've had him."
Jose Tabata's tie-breaking RBI infield single in the seventh put the Bucs up, 10-9, but that lead didn't last longer than any of the others, the Giants making it 10-10 in the ninth on Buster Posey's run-scoring single off Mark Melancon.
The Giants made a game of it with a five-run retort in the sixth. Locke was working on his 13-out streak when Angel Pagan led off with a single. The barn door was open. Locke got one more out -- a strikeout of Michael Morse between RBI singles by Posey and Hector Sanchez -- and was gone.
"I thought he did a very commendable, professional job," Hurdle said of Locke, who had been recalled for this one spot start from Triple-A Indianapolis. "They chipped him [for two runs] in the first, then he had four very clean innings. Then the ball kinda got up on him a little bit. But he gave us a nice effort."
Bryan Morris relieved, and three more runs scored under his watch, two on Brandon Hicks' double and another on Brandon Crawford's sacrifice fly.
"They basically got to our location," Hurdle said, referring to both the location of pitches and struck balls. "We were up in the [strike] zone more than normal. And in that sixth inning, all I saw was [Starling] Marte running down balls in left field, and [Neil] Walker diving for three or four balls at second, and couldn't come up with anything."
Jordy Mercer doubled in the bottom of the inning and eventually came in on Walker's grounder to build the lead back to two runs -- wiped out in the seventh on run-scoring knocks off Watson by Morse and Sanchez.
Locke didn't wow witnesses, but he was downright supreme when it most mattered, after the Giants had grabbed a quick 2-0 lead and before the Pirates could answer loudly. The lefty retired those 13 consecutive batters from the first through the fifth.
"It's easy to let those innings pile up," Locke said. "I pride myself in the way I pitched after that first inning. There were times last year when I'd let that snowball. Today, I put my foot down."
First thing Locke did was fall right in line with the Bucs' 2014 staff when it comes to derailing baserunners. Pagan led off the game with a single -- and minutes later was caught stealing as Locke caught him off first base. Still, the Giants had some two-out lightning in them: Posey's single led to Morse's RBI double and Sanchez's run-scoring single for a 2-0 lead.
Pedro Alvarez did not let Locke wallow in that hole too long. The Bucs had already put one third-inning dent into San Francisco starter Yusmeiro Petit on Walker's RBI single when Alvarez came up with two on. The 3-0 pitch to him appeared six inches off the ground, and he started toward first base, only to be called back by home-plate umpire Phil Cuzzi.
Alvarez quickly got over that: He deposited Petit's next pitch into the Pirates' bullpen, the three-run shot giving him eight homers and 21 RBIs, and Locke a 4-2 lead.
Hearing the shutdown-inning call, Locke stood tall. He went through the Giants on six pitches the next inning, and after another breezy nine-pitch inning was in position for the win.
It marked only the 11th time in 32 games that the Pirates held a lead after the fifth inning -- a prime requisite for the starting pitcher to be able to get the win.
Neither Alvarez nor the rest of his band of Pirates were finished. An RBI single in the fifth gave Alvarez a four-RBI night. Later in that inning a pair of run-scoring wild pitches by Jake Dunning and sacrifice fly by Clint Barmes built an 8-2 lead.

Kidney disease is a chronic condition with no cure, but members of the Glendale-based Renal Support Network don't let that get them down as they "bead" together for a new fundraiser that's the brainchild of a local woman who's had four kidney transplants.
The organization is giving away beaded bracelets for donations in a jewelry collection called EmbraceHope, said Glendale resident Lori Hartwell, who founded the network in 1993 and organized the fundraiser.
Each bracelet is named for and dedicated to one of 12 friends who helped Hartwell during her most recent transplant.
"When you have an illness, it takes a lot of support from friends and family to get through it," Hartwell said.
Her journey through her fourth kidney transplant was difficult at times and filled with uncertainty, but she always persevered, Hartwell said.
She had her first kidney transplant when was 13, but her body wouldn't accept it. She had another transplant when she was 17, but again it didn't work.
She was on dialysis for a dozen years starting when she was 12. Finally, when she received her third kidney in 1990, it lasted for 20 years.
For the past several months, the group held beading parties where members would sit around a table and craft the bracelets.
They made about 1,000 of them before the fundraiser's Nov. 1 kick-off, Hartwell said, adding that about 60% of the inventory has been given away in exchange for donations.
Proceeds will go to the Renal Support Network and its projects, which include an annual Renal Teen Prom, to be held Jan. 20 at Notre Dame High School.
Teenagers with kidney disease come from throughout Southern California for the prom and actor Jack Black has performed at the event the past few years, Hartwell said.
As part of the prom project, the organization holds a dress drive for teenage girls, who get a gown to wear to the prom and then keep. The drive will be held the first weekend of January at the Glendale Galleria, which donates the space.
"We make them feel beautiful. They already look beautiful." Hartwell said.
Each bracelet is available for a $25 donation.

New York Sen. Charles Schumer is going to tell Janet Yellen to "be careful" about raising interest rates when the Federal Reserve chairwoman goes before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday.
"The $64,000 question is how soon they end the quantitative easing and how quickly will they try to raise [interest] rates?" Schumer said in a brief telephone interview with MarketWatch on Monday.
Minutes from the most recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting suggest the Fed is on track to end the bond purchase program in October. Projections show Fed officials expect the first rate hike to occur sometime in 2015.
Schumer, a New York Democrat, has been present at congressional testimonies by Federal Reserve heads since 1981 as both a member of the House and Senate. Yellen gives what was formerly known as the Humphrey Hawkins testimony on monetary policy to the Senate banking panel on Tuesday. She gives day two of the testimony on Wednesday to the House Financial Services Committee.
Schumer said he believes the "overwhelming problem" still faced by the economy is the lack of job growth.
"So I am going to encourage [the Fed] to be careful before they move to raise rates," due to the impact that could have on job growth, Schumer said.
Fed officials have signaled that they don't plan to raise interest rates until next summer.
— Robert Schroeder
