NEW BRITAIN -- The NBMAA will celebrate the works of Connecticut-born, African-American artist Charles Ethan Porter in a special exhibition of 52 paintings on view through March 16. Curated by well-known scholar Hildegard Cummings, formerly on the staff of the Benton Museum at the University of Connecticut, the exhibition "Charles Ethan Porter: African-American Master of Still Life" is the first museum exhibition of works by the artist. It will later travel to the Studio Museum in Harlem (April 1 to July 15) and to the North Carolina Central University Art Museum, Durham (Aug. 3 to Oct. 7). Porter painted mainly flowers, insects, fruit and landscapes -- subjects that became his signature style. He was well-regarded among critics and the public, and his work caught the eye of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) who introduced Porter and his work to influential circles both in the U.S. and abroad. The NBMAA is at 56 Lexington St. See www.nbmaa.org, for information.
MIDDLETOWN -- The Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, 283 Washington Terrace, at Wesleyan University is hosting "The New Society for Universal Harmony," an ongoing art project which began in 2000. It fictively re-invents, in a variety of media, an l8th-century utopian society where "memserism," later known as hypnotism, was practiced for healing and spirituality. This project uses the lens of history to explore the far-ranging beliefs and anxieties of our own time and the sciences and technologies that have informed them. Alternately playful and serious, the project questions ideas about community, utopian fantasies, cult-like activities and medical practices. The New Society also functions as a real society of artists and performers who, while they perform historical re-enactments and engage in communal "rituals," document these activities, collaboratively, as artworks. The exhibition, which runs from Feb. 2 through March 2, consists of a multi-media installation that uses video, digital prints and archival materials. Admission is free. For information, call (860) 685-3355 or visit www.wesleyan.edu/cfa. The public is invited to attend the opening reception Feb. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. with an artist talk at 5:30. "Be Not Afraid," the most recent production of The New Society is a multi-disciplinary two-channel video projection that documents two aspects of modernity: the remnants of the utopian dream and the origins of psychoanalysis. It incorporates archival footage from the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs and NASA footage, while documenting a re-enactment of the first hypnosis session ever illustrated (in a 19th-century engraving). The video depicts members of The New Society being hypnotized under a tree against the backdrop of Philip Johnson's 1964 New York State Pavilion, itself a tribute to the U.S. Space Program. For information, see www.thenewsociety.org.
NEW BRITAIN -- The New Britain Museum of American Art, 56 Lexington St., will feature The Consumer Culture Garden, an Experiments in Art and Technology collaboration, in an interactive NEW/NOW exhibition through Feb. 24. The NEW/NOW piece will simulate a Japanese koi pond where fish emblazoned with advertising interact with the v

…with red onions, cucumbers, avocado, and a mango dressing.
I find seafood to be a very daring choice to serve to guests. People often do not like seafood or are very picky in the way that it's prepared. But, what would life be if we don't take risks? If you have someone who does like to eat fish then I recommend making this tuna poké bowl. You just can't go wrong with this recipe.
I used to be one of those people that didn't like eating fish. I grew up around water, but I rarely chose to have fish for dinner. Red Snapper is popular local fish here on Curaçao and it was also the only type of fish that I ate growing up. But, it had to be made the way I wanted or I would still not eat it. My mom still tells the story of how I would only eat Red Snapper if it was made by her or my grandmother. Somehow no one could really make Red Snapper as they did, not even my father—even though he'd like to think otherwise. It wasn't until last year that my palate started growing up and I was becoming more receptive of new dishes. Perhaps when you turn 25 your taste buds finally start to appreciate the finer things in life.
The first time I had fresh raw tuna was a year ago when I tried a tuna tartar. One bite and I was in love. Living on Curaçao gives me the opportunity to buy really good fresh tuna for a fair price. So, I felt obliged to make something delicious with tuna and since poké bowls are all the rage lately, I created this tuna poké bowl. What I love about poké bowls the most is you can tweak it to your liking.
My tuna poké bowl has—of course—fresh tuna, red onions, cucumbers, and avocado. But, what really makes this dish feel like you've gone to heaven and back is the Asian-mango dressing. It just complements the dish, adds a little sweetness to the rather salty ingredients, and puts everything together. Perfect doesn't come even close to what I felt when I took a bite out of this dish. I am sure that you, and whoever you serve this dish to, will feel the same. You are basically recreating a popular restaurant in the comfort of your own home and for a fraction of a normal meal in a restaurant. I had some leftover wonton chips that I added to the dish, but this is completely optional.
A tasty tuna poké bowl with Asian-mango dressing, red onions, cucumbers, and avocado.
- 450 gr fresh tuna small cubes
- 1/4 cup Asian dressing see note 1
- Cooked rice
- 1/2 small red onion finely sliced
- 1 cup green onions sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1/2 cucumber sliced
- 1 large mango chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 1½ tbsp honey
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 3/4 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp sriracha or to taste
- pinch of salt
- Water as needed
- Start with the dressing. Add all the ingredients, except the water, into a food processor. Gradually add water, while the processor is running, until the sauce becomes runny but still a little bit thick.
- Mix the tuna and the Asian dressing in a bowl, mix, and set aside.
- Add the cooked rice in a serving bowl and add the tuna on top. Add a few slices of onion, cucumbers, avocado, and some green onions all over. Drizzle the dressing on top.
You can find the recipe for the Asian dressing here.

In my blog, some category has hundreds titles, almost all the themes will show all the details in the category index. Which makes my category page become really huge, it looks like list the contents of several books just in page, I need change it to only list the titles.
Some themes use the only content/list loop for both main index and category list, those themes is useless for me, once you modify the category list, it also affects main index. I need the category list which is separate.
Those themes has the category.php matches my requirement. Here is the way how to modify it:
- Look for the code like
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
- Find the code in the loop like
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
and comment it
- Add the following code
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

- List can be added to the code
you can do some modifications, like change the
 to

 pair, and put
 before the while loop as well as
 afterwards

This morning we rose bright and early to leave our hostel in Arequipa at 6:30 am for flights to Lima. It was an intense and productive week at Carmen Alta with several twelve hour work days. The Lions Clubs sponsoring the clinics gave us great support with delicious home cooked lunches each day. Most of the kids and families with whom we worked waited for hours to be seen and in some cases had to leave and return the next day before they were even evaluated – we had difficulty dealing with the numbers and intensity of the needs and these families were so gracious and patient. Following are some memorable stories from the week:
Lisandro (15) has spina bifida and was carried to the clinic by his father, who is raising him alone. He has a wheelchair before but it was a plastic patio chair on a frame with wheels, and it broke. Lisandro was exceedingly shy and initially refused to look at the camera or his therapists. Then we learned that he had never seen "gringos" before! His father, Edgar, gently coaxed and reassured him to allow us close enough to evaluate his wheelchair needs. In the end, Edgar was pleased with the lightweight, streamlined chair that is easy to move around in, and said he thought Lisandro would like it to. At the end he was even willing to look at the camera!
Sharmely is 8 years old and has dystonic cerebral palsy. She arrived carried on her mother's back in a blanket. We were short on wheelchairs of the type she needed, but had some extra stroller style chairs and found a tilt-in-space frame that was suitable for her needs. We created a much stronger and more supportive seating system for Sharmely and were progressing nicely when I realized that the chair had no brakes! It was a distinctive model that no one in our group had ever used before. Our creative team went to work trying to design brakes that would work, as the clock ticked toward the time when Sharmely had to leave to catch the bus home – 7:30 pm. Suddenly we realized that an identical chair in a different color was in our stash and when we looked – it had brakes! We robbed them and Sharmely was surrounded by a "pit crew" for the final fitting of her chair while brakes were installed at the same time. We heaved a sigh of relief as they left in a taxi to the bus station with the new chair.
Giorghino is 21 but he is the size of a 10 year old. He has microcephaly with serious movement problems and had never had a wheelchair before. He had only one scar from a pressure ulcer – not bad for his age and the intensity of his impairments. Giorghino waited for most of a day and then went home without being seen by our team. He returned the next morning with his aunt – and later his mother – and spent most of the day in the clinic. We incorporate education in postural care for all the families – a method by which the body shape of people with movement problems can be protected and in some cases, improved. Halfway through the day I did a presentation on the principles of postural care for the families. Prior to the presentation Giorghino's therapist, Kim, had tried to demonstrate a different way for him to lie comfortably in bed, but he immediately cried and resisted. After the presentation Giorghino's aunt wanted to try again and he did fine. He left sitting up in a wheelchair instead of being carried in a blanket.
Maria Jesus is 20 years old and like so many young people with cerebral palsy, has never had a wheelchair or any kind of positioning to help her sit up or to protect her body shape. As a result, her left hip is painfully dislocated and designing a chair that could enable her to sit was a huge challenge that was perfect for Sammie! In our group we have coined a new term – "Sammified" – for Sammie's incredible creativity unleashed on a wheelchair! Sammie is not only an occupational therapist with many years of wheelchair seating experience, but she is also a wood sculptor. Her ability to match seating surfaces to unusual body shapes is a tremendous gift to young people like Maria Jesus, as you can see.
Leaving Arequipa meant leaving four valuable team members: Jeff and Abby States, a father/daughter team who worked together on the technical end with the wheelchairs, Mary Jo Wagner (occupational therapist) and Martine Ravioli, translator and story collector. We all gathered for a team photo prior to parting after this memorable week. I write this not from Lima, where our team has expanded again with nine people who arrived from the United States last night. Here is the Arequipa team photo of the people who made it possible for 41 children and youth to go home with custom fit wheelchairs, postural care training and new possibilities last week!

Westfield Counseling Services
We Are Here to Listen
We Are Here to Listen
Westfield Counseling Services is located at 5 Noble Ave,
1st Floor, Westfield, MA
All of us at WCS hope that you and your family are well and taking seriously the recommendations to reduce contact with others. This virus is new to humans and is different in many important ways to other nasty bugs. It is affecting even healthy people in long lasting ways.
Some of the independently practicing counselors on this page offer online video or phone sessions also known as Telemental Health. Some have started to introduce limited in person sessions. Most Insurance companies are allowing telemental health now even if they did not offer it in the past and many are paying for your copay and deductible during this crisis. BUT PLEASE CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY TO BE SURE!
Please contact each counselor individually to see what type of services they are offering. It will also be important to check in with your own insurance to see how or if they cover telemental health services.
If you are visiting the office for an appointment, please be aware that you need to come wearing a mask, use hand sanitizer in the entryway or wash hands. If you are sick in any way, even not suspected Covid related, we ask that you ask your therapist for an online appointment until you are feeling better.
We all wish you health and peace during this unprecedented time.
Please like us using the Facebook link below to get free creative positive ideas and local happenings.
We are a collection of independently operating and practicing counselors dedicated to helping people realize their individual goals and feel better in meaningful ways.
Each counselor who shares this web space wants what is best for you, and only you can decide what that is. So please feel free to contact one or all of us to see what seems to make the most sense for you or your family member.
We also understand that even after talking or meeting with one of us, you may decide the fit is not right. Feel free to tell that counselor and they will do their best to refer you to another counselor either within or outside of our offices who can better assist you.
We really mean it when we say we want what is best for you!
From time to time, most of us have internal conflicts. When in conflict there are "parts" of us that become unbalanced by challenging beliefs, attitudes, and feelings that were taken on at different stages of life.
When we feel trapped and burdened by inner conflicts and also by our efforts to avoid hurt and pain, counseling can guide and support us in bringing curiosity and compassion to all of our "parts" with the aim of restoring balance, and having more inner harmony. Supportive counseling can guide you to tap into your inner wisdom and develop the self-knowledge, and self-acceptance you need to work with your life challenges.
As a counselor I bring over 30 years experience working with children, youth, and families in a variety of professional settings.
